Water, Waste and Materials Following extensive industry feedback, this year’s Ecobuild is set to introduce a brand new ‘Water, Waste and Materials’ stream as part of its 2013 seminar programme. Chief industry leaders from WRAP, Arup, British Land, Drivers Jonas Deloitte, Quintain Estates & Development, Construction Products Association (CPA), Landscape Institute and University of Sheffield will join forces to create a lively programme as part of Ecobuild 2013’s three-day seminar programme which will feature 700 speakers. Sponsored by safety floor specialists, Altro, ‘Water, Waste and Materials’ will explore a range of approaches relating to resource stewardship in terms of water,

waste and materials cycles. The programme will look at how these cycles can contribute to achieving this goal, as many are in the hands of built environment professionals and investors in both the private and public sector.
Experts will cover topics such as ‘Operational waste - how to reduce it, how to handle it and how to reuse it’ chaired by Tony Yates from SLR Consulting, ‘Getting the sustainability brief right for responsible resource use and management’ hosted by Dr. Bill Addis, Buro Happold, ‘Designing for resource efficiency’ with WRAP’s Head of Construction & Refurbishment, Richard Buckingham and ‘Zero water developments - achieving the ideal’, headed up by Celeste Morgan, Sustainability Director for AECOM NW.
Energy efficiency As energy costs continue to rise, there has never been such an important time get up to speed on the latest legislation, training and technologies surrounding renewable energy and microgeneration. Ecobuild 2013 will showcase the latest innovations in solar (commercial and domestic), bioenergy, combined heat & power (CHP), building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), heat pumps and small scale wind technology.

One thing to look out for will be exhibitor, Boon Edam (stand N816), showcasing its energy generating revolving door — the NRG+2 Tourniket, which is equipped with a power generating unit that produces electricity from kinetic energy conversion when people enter. Like other revolving doors, a significant saving on heat loss is achieved over standard sliding or swing doors. Graeme Firth, Boon Edam’s Managing Director, explained: “A significant amount of the total energy loss in a well insulated building occurs through and around standard doors and windows. However, installation of a revolving door at your building’s entrance can considerably lower the amount of heat loss, and in turn reduce your buildings energy consumption. Revolving doors really are the
