	Within The Green Guide to Specification (4th edition), biomaterials are classed as naturally-derived construction materials (ie those originating from plant or animal sources) providing both structural and non-structural functions within the building fabric. Biomass is a biological material used as a fuel. This is often used to mean plant-based material, but biomass can equally apply to both animal and vegetable-derived materials.
