Construction minister Brian Wilson has urged all sectors of the building industry to work together to meet the 21st Century challenge of building a greener Britain.
He told the 2003 Ðǿմ«Ã½ Awards audience that greater energy efficiency and ultimately renewable energy must be the key features of future projects in the UK.

Wilson said: "The shift to far greater energy efficiency is also an ideal opportunity to intensify the efforts already being made to improve the productivity of the construction industry.

"Crucially, [the Government] will set an example by improving energy efficiency in public buildings and procurement. [The Government] has also announced further measures to support the use of combined heat and power. However, achieving these bigger and faster changes will require the concerted effort of all parts of the industry."
