UK Business Minister Mark Prisk is expected to announce that the Green Construction Board (GCB) has secured £1m to boost its operations.
The financing, delivered by the UK government, hopes to secure key action points the GCB and its working groups develop and deliver in efforts to push growth opportunities in sustainable construction, infrastructure and property sector.
Prisk said, 'The government is determined to maximise the opportunities for UK construction in sustainable development. This money will enable the board to take forward a large programme of activities through the voluntary contributions of many people from the industry, who are keen to engage with us regularly to accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy.
'This additional funding will be used to get even more value from those contributions by supporting particular tasks, to ensure that they are delivered more quickly, or in more depth, than would otherwise be the case.'
