GBS = Green Building Encyclopaedia

About:

After 10 years founding and funding GreenSpec website it has not become what I origonally intended, so it was time to move on and start again.

Ten years wasted? No just 10 years to work out what was missing or excluded and how to fill the gaps.

GreenSpecDownload was envisaged to be a sister website to GreenSpec but that is no longer to be the case, it will now become a pathway to Green Building Encyclopaedia.

BrianSpecMan had been building an exit strategy from GreenSpec since 2009, posted 300 files including CPD seminars on Scribd to test the water, September 2012 he set up GreenSpecDownload which is now being redeveloped into NGS National Green Specification to become the Green Building Encyclopedia (GBE) always intended.

Scribd in USA started getting possessive and greedy with their contributors copyright material and started charging users to read the content and UK contributors could not get any payouts. So my content was withdrawn from Scribd to this website.

Over 1050 pages had been created by then, but mostly the website site map or skeleton waiting to be fleshed out. Today (by 2026) there are 2050 pages/posts.

There are 10,000-30,000 pages to be created from the information waiting to be put to use.

With so much information the website will be structured to be as close to neural networks to link all pages to every other related page or post so you can find all related information easily without searching menus.

Whilst there are no statistics to talk of yet I would welcome reciprocal links and will be happy to include any material you are willing to share with links back to all the parts of your site(s) on this site.
