About

With this site, the AECB promotes excellence in design and construction. This website includes the very popular Green Building Forum which was set up by Keith Hall, who co-founded the AECB back in 1989. Keith kindly donated the site to the AECB when he retired in 2025. We hope the site will be used by AECB members and anyone keen to talk about and discuss all aspects of green building. The AECB is run for its members and is an independent, not for profit organisation.

That vision of a ‘sustainable’ construction industry continues almost thirty years later in our news, forum and archives across our 'Green Building' websites.

Contributions to our service flows from a diverse range of professionals from across the industry; architects, builders, developers and of course from green building owners and enthusiasts.

You are more than welcome to
contact us if you want to submit a story or news item or to book space on our websites to promote your ideas, products or philosopy. Open minds await you.
