BRIQ

BRIQ stands for the Built Research Information Group. It is a UK-based organization dedicated to improving the sustainability and environmental performance of the built environment. BRIQ was formed in 1996 and has since become a significant contributor to research, policy, and practice in the field of sustainable construction.

The organization focuses on a range of areas including energy efficiency, renewable energy integration, materials innovation, and the social and economic aspects of sustainability. BRIQ collaborates with academics, industry professionals, government bodies, and other stakeholders to promote best practices and drive innovation. Their work often involves conducting research projects, disseminating findings through publications and events, and contributing to the development of relevant standards and regulations.

BRIQ's objectives include raising awareness about the environmental impact of the construction sector, fostering collaboration to address sustainability challenges, and supporting the development of a more resource-efficient and low-carbon built environment. They aim to bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that cutting-edge knowledge is translated into tangible improvements on the ground. The group's activities contribute to the broader goals of reducing carbon emissions, conserving resources, and enhancing the health and well-being of building occupants.
