4PROecotips.com – Housebuilding today to meet tomorrow’s CO2 challenge

4PROecotips.com is an Orbis4 website. It is seen as a natural progression from 4ecotips.com, which keeps the general public regularly informed on the CO2 emissions challenge and global warming issues.

4PROecotips.com is specifically for house building professionals and technicians with responsibility for delivering new homes complying with the UK Code for Sustainable Homes, which sets the minimum standards. It is also for everyone associated with renovating the nation’s existing housing stock to bring it in line with the highest level of sustainable, affordable living.

4PROecotips.com makes its important contribution through the provision of information on new products, technologies and ideas aimed at raising today’s housing performance to meet tomorrow’s expectations!

The Editor, who studied architecture and building technology, has 35 years experience with the UK building and architectural press and is a consultant to the National Home Improvement Council. His knowledge is complemented by the design and web-management expertise of Imre Ltd, one of the UK’s leading website production houses.

The original concept of the ecotips website series comes from Bucks House Publications, which was established in the mid-1980s in order to produce professional journals and literature for various major domestic fuel suppliers.

It has close links with housebuilders and developers as well as housing associations and local authorities and, for several decades, has worked closely with leading UK parliamentarians, environmentalists plus others from around the world with the common objective of stabilising global warming.
