Background:

GBE is here to serve designers and specifiers, in order to do that we need to support manufacturers to help them to provide the information that the designers and specifiers need.

Manufacturer’s Website content and promotional literature is usually a mixture of optimistic promotional and technical information that takes time to assimilate into designs and convert into specifications, if time is short the specifications may be short on detail and weak against the inevitable substitution processes in contracts.

GBE have 40 years of experience of extracting the essence out of product information to make robust contract specification clauses; now we are turning our efforts to support manufacturers to highlight their products and information about them to emphasise their green credentials without creeping into greenwash, and turn it into:

GBE Product Pages:

Broken down into 6 Core Pages all linked to each other so there is 21 times more likelihood of the product being found, they are: Products, Accessories, Systems, Manufacturer, Suppliers, Installers

GBE Website is also being developed as an encyclopaedia of green construction to help educate the users in green design, green materials and green methods of construction, so they can understand the principles, can adopt the products and are more likely to and more capable of defending them in value engineering, cost cutting and specification substitution exercises.

Listed and linked in both directions

Each topic of the GBE Green Building Encyclopaedia has its own page and wherever a topic is relevant to the product then their pages are listed and linked so they are instantly available without searching for them.

  • GBE Checklist,
  • GBE Jargon Buster,
