The Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB) was established in 1989 to increase awareness within the construction industry of the need to respect, protect, preserve and enhance the environment, principles that have become known collectively as "sustainability". The Association numbers local authorities, housing associations, builders, architects, designers, consultants and manufacturers among its membership and is proud to have Professor Chris Baines as its Honorary President.
The AECB boasts amongst its members some of the leading authorities and activists within the environmental construction movement. It is represented at national government level and is routinely consulted on crucial industry matters such as changes to the statutory building regulations, government strategies and initiatives. Collaboration with other environmental organisations currently includes work with Green Peace and WWF on illegal timber logging.
