IF Kite

As an outsider to the RICS, I've got to say I'm as confused as you as to their position on sustainability. By highlighting the worst performers what are they trying to say? And does their message risk being overwhelmed by their attempt to grab some headlines?

Sadly this isn't the first time someone from the RICS has done this:

As an engineer this pissed me off in two respects:

1) the alarmist 'hundreds of turbines' which seems to suggest that this is the only way we can cut emissions

2) This quote, "What we hope is that the government will engage with us as chartered surveyors because we are the profession with the skills to help achieve these targets."

Makes it seem like the CIBSE never existed.
