Sustainable Innovation Manual

The first phase of UKGBC’s Innovation Programme was an Innovation Lab that engaged members in a process of innovation around the challenge “How can we make space as agile as tech?”. The resulting innovation manual is out now and can be found below.

The manual has been designed to promote a culture of innovation in the built environment sector, and more specifically to aid the generation of solutions that are both sustainable and innovative.

We have also developed templates designed to accompany the innovation process set out in the Sustainable Innovation Manual and to guide you towards the creation of a sustainable solution to challenges you have identified.

They are intended to be used in a workshop format but can equally be used and applied by an individual to any challenge, as a way to frame and organise thoughts.
