The Sustainable and Secure Buildings Act 2004 (c 22) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Andrew Stunnell MP states "The Act creates new powers to make Building Regulations on these topics [that is sustainable eco-friendly buildings, secure against climate and environmental changes], and also requires the Government to report to Parliament every two years on what it has done. The next task is to make quite sure the new Act doesn't just sit on a shelf getting dusty, but that the necessary regulations come forward quickly, and that the first report to Parliament demonstrates real progress being made."^[3]
