We believe that the built environment impacts on many different sectors including transport, health and well being, land use, energy policy and that it plays a key role in solving many of the problems associated with each of these.

Part of the remit of the Irish Green Building Council is to clarify and connect different policies from different Government departments as it relates to the built environment. You can click through to the key resources by means of our website with a brief explanation of each policy or document.
