The BRE are developing their ClimateLite tool for sustainable design. ClimateLite will help building designers to apply from a very early stage - a systematic approach that quickly and cost effectively addresses challenging current and future carbon emission targets and the use of renewable energy technologies. This three-year, DTI funded project aims to have a prototype tool ready by October 2008. Read more...
