Document summary

For guidance only, this spreadsheet suggests more environmentally sustainable alternatives to common building elements.

It provides basic information on price, supply and installation. We have sought to check the information provided, however there may be other more practical or sustainable alternatives and it should be recognised that opinions and advice varies widely from source to source.

We advise that this database is used as a first step in seeking more sustainable materials. Where used by consultants, it is not intended to prevent the proposal of different materials based on further knowledge and research.
