Greenbuild EXPO

Greenbuild
Expo 2015
Greenbuild Expo returns to Manchester Central in November - running
alongside a new event - Buildings & Energy Efficiency (BEE), which has
been launched to offer built environment professionals access to all the
latest products and solutions to create buildings for the future.
As well as access to guidance on energy efficiency, green retrofit and
much more, both events will feature free conference programmes with
expert speakers offering inspiring content on everything from renewable
energy to off-site construction. Greenbuild Expo and BEE are designed
to give visitors the tools they need to produce innovative, low-energy
buildings and truly green developments.
Of the commercial properties in the UK that have had an Energy
Performance Certificate (EPC) so far, over 90,000 of them do not
conform to Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), which
is likely to be an E rating or above, meaning BEE will have enormous
appeal as those responsible for commercial buildings seek to take
control of their energy consumption.
Event Manager, Chris Eldridge, said: “After six successful years as
Greenbuild Expo it was clear that there is a real need for information
on making commercial buildings more energy efficient so it’s a
natural progression to launch an event dedicated to energy efficiency,
particularly with the changes in legislation to Part L 2014, The EU’s
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, The Energy Savings
Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and The Energy Act 2011, which over
the next three years will have a major impact on the way commercial
buildings are managed and let.
“We moved the show to November to avoid the election and also give
time for the built environment and industry to have a clearer picture of
what the implications of any policy changes are and what lies ahead. It’s
also ideal as we move into Winter and need to use more heating and
lighting, so energy efficiency will be in the forefront of visitors’ minds.”
The two events together will offer visitors a fantastic opportunity to
discover the latest innovation when it comes to energy efficiency and
renewable energy, as well as opportunities to see the latest sustainable
products and materials, hearing from those who have put these
technologies through their paces.

A popular feature returning to Greenbuild Expo for 2015 is Ignition, the
UK’s only woodfuel event. With a dedicated seminar programme and exhibition area, Ignition 15 will include advice on incorporating biomass into
sustainable developments.

Speakers already confirmed for the events include Balfour Beatty, The
Energy Institute, Zero Carbon Hub, Energy Institute, British Institute of
Facilities Managers (BIFM), National Energy Foundation (NEF), BRE,
University of Salford, Association of Public Sector Excellence - Energy
(APSE - Energy), BSRIA, Schneider Electric and the BRE.
