Why join AECB?

We rely on membership subscriptions to fund the core work of the AECB and so the Association really does value your help. Our financial independence means that we can be an entirely independent voice when lobbying Government and trying to influence the agenda for sustainable construction in the UK.
Your membership subscriptions help us to continue our essential work and we offer an attractive range of benefits in return.

Students and Supporting Individuals will not have a listing on our Member Services Directory as they are not offering a service.

Please note if you are an overseas subscriber, VAT may not be applicable but we do not make any deductions as this helps contribute towards the additional postage costs of posting out the Green Building magazine.
