Using the System, Guide, Network and Reference buttons below select the type of tool you need to help you work on this theme. All the relevant products will then be displayed.
Note:
To help you decide, each of the tool types is described briefly in the table below.

 
Buildings
System A system is a tool which contains the things you need to take action. It prompts you to collect and record data (electronically or on paper) and takes you from a defined starting point to one or more specific outputs. Systems may be computer based or paper based. They are normally self-contained, i.e. you need to use the system as it is, but some have been designed to link with other products.
Guide

Guides give you a stepped approach (at various levels of detail) to achieving an end. Most give you background information, describe the options you can take and describe the methods by which you choose. They usually allow more flexibility than systems, but you may need to design your own systems for gathering data, controlling projects, etc.

Network A network is formed by a number of people who are interested in the same topic, and provides support for the people in the network by sharing ideas, information and experience.
Reference Reference materials are usually reports and case studies that provide you with more information about a subject. They may give you ideas from which to develop your own projects. Some reference material gives you specific subject data on which you can base decisions (e.g. the Green Guide to Housing Specification).
