About Sustainability Works
Sustainability Works is an online software package. It is specifically designed to help housing professionals and their partners deliver sustainable development efficiently, from policy level to project delivery.
Sustainability Works helps users to deliver the key agenda of sustainable development which is increasingly demanded by planning authorities, regulators, funders and consumers of housing. BRE EcoHomes standards are fully integrated into the software.
Sustainability Works can be used for urban and rural situations, new build, rehabilitation and regeneration. It covers the whole spectrum of sustainable development from the land usage and social aspects to technical details of building construction, water and energy use.
Whether you are a newcomer to sustainable development or an experienced practitioner, Sustainability Works can help you
- write robust sustainable development policies,
- set and monitor realistic sustainability targets for your projects
- make rapid BRE EcoHomes predictions on specific schemes
