RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) is the mark of property professionalism worldwide. It covers all aspects of property, construction and associated environmental issues. RICS has over 140,000 members globally and represents, regulates and promotes the work of property professionals throughout 146 countries.

Moving towards a low carbon built environment is the number one priority for RICS. Joining the European Commission in its challenge to encourage consumers, business, industry and governments to opt for energy efficiency through its Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign is just one of the ways in which RICS is participating in this global debate. Through research, working groups and policy formulation, RICS is increasingly becoming the primary worldwide professional institution to turn to on this issue.

RICS is part of the ManagEnergy Thematic Group on Buildings, a recognised partner and media associate of the EU Sustainable Energy Campaign and a Partner of the BUILD UP Web Portal.
