Bitesize Explainer Guides
UKGBC's Bitesize Explainer Guides are a growing suite of introductory-level sustainability resources designed to build knowledge and confidence across industry on key sustainability topics.

To empower all corners of the property and construction sectors to engage in the green transition, UKGBC has developed Bitesize Explainer Guides – a suite of resources that demystify key sustainability concepts and create a common language for non-technical experts to confidently get involved in sustainable building topics.
Using jargon-free, easy-to-understand language, UKGBC’s Explainer Guides provide a jumping-off point for non-sustainability professionals to begin their sustainability learning journey.
The one-pager guides break down key climate and nature topics into digestible chunks outlining:
- How it is defined
- Its importance in tackling the climate crisis
- How it relates to the built environment
- Relevant resources to consolidate knowledge.
