The Devon Sustainable Building Initiative (DSBI) is a new not-for-profit organisation formed by a partnership of local authorities, universities, businesses, charitable organisations and interested individuals to promote and enable more sustainable construction in the county.
The DSBI will cover the residential, commercial and public buildings sectors across all stages of the building cycle from the design and construction through to the use and refurbishment of buildings.
It complements similar initiatives in other south west counties, namely Somerset, Cornwall and Dorset, and is based at the offices of Devon County Council in Exeter.
The Initiative is currently getting established, but eventually aims to offer:
- a one-stop shop for information
- access to a sustainable building contacts database & network
- regular seminars & workshops
- a Devon-wide sustainable building supply chain
- a regular newsletter
- access to sustainable building training
- site visits & case studies
- education & awareness-raising amongst consumers
Much of this information will be available on this website, which is currently under development.
