The 2011 seminar programme, also free to attend, is Ecobuild’s biggest ever, with over a dozen streams and more than 130 seminars covering the most pressing concerns for built environment professionals: • • • • • • • • • • • • •


future energy


energy in buildings regulations revealed


simplifying standards guides and tools refurbishing Britain


sustainability and the city sustainable by design


sustainable small projects from grey to green


sustainable architecture & design beyond construction installer business installer skills


Seminars are brought to life through a series of interactive attractions and live demonstrations taking place on the exhibition floor, from how to install a solar panel or a green roof, to timber frame construction and applying exterior wall insulation.


Highly topical is Ecobuild’s Solar hub which will explain the fundamentals of photovoltaic systems – how they work, what components they include, and how and where to install them, with daily demonstrations and talks on building integrated photovoltaic tiles (BIPV), photovoltaic systems (PV) and benefitting from the feed in tariff.


Renew provides practical advice on achieving one of the most important aspects of an energy efficient building – a highly insulated, air tight building envelope – with daily live demonstrations of internal and external insulation for solid walls, loft insulation, insulated floor bases and glazing solutions.


The enormously popular Cityscape returns in 2011 to focus on the greening of the built environment and the encouragement of biodiversity. Comprising live demonstration areas and a variety of case studies and installations explaining the practicalities of greening and enhancing biodiversity, it will take the learning from Ecobuild’s From grey to green and Sustainability and the city seminars and help visitors gain experience of the practical skills required.


New for 2011, Ecobuild’s Water wise will bring visitors up-to-date on the changes to Part G of building regulations, understanding the water efficient systems and appliances that can now be installed into buildings. It will also explain the measures that can be put in place to significantly reduce our water footprints by fixing leaks, using water efficient white goods and other water- saving technologies, as well as implementing simple but effective behavioural changes, and demonstrate that not only does a reduction in water consumption save energy and carbon, but that it brings financial savings for businesses, the public sector and consumers too.
