Among the many issues discussed by the working group were the objectives of the group, the expectations of the members, how the findings of the group should be published and what should be the scope of this publication. The meeting produced a draft structure for this ‘CTBUH Guide to Tall Buildings and Sustainability’ and identified which members should be responsible for the various sections of the publication.
