A guide written by the Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development.

This report provides guidance on sustainability issues while commissioning construction of new buildings or refurbishments within further education (FE) colleges in the UK.


The guidance is primarily meant to be used by senior management teams who are involved in decision-making when a building construction project is to be commissioned. A summary section at the beginning of each chapter in this guidance report provides an overview of the main points discussed in the chapter.

Although the guide outlines the process for commissioning sustainable construction in FE colleges, it should be used in conjunction with the sources of further information provided.
