Timber suppliers are latching on to the biggest eco show in town. David Pittman reports on the rise and rise of Ecobuild.
Summary
• Ecobuild 2008 will be held at London’s Earls Court from February 26-28.
• Achieving carbon neutrality will be a key topic across the show.
• A model zero carbon home will demonstrate the products and practices available to developers.
• Timber firms will be on show in force at Ecobuild.
With 500 exhibitors, 100 seminars and 20,000 visitors expected, this year's Ecobuild, at Earls Cout from February 26-28, promises to be bigger than ever.
Since its launch in 2005, the show has had year-on-year growth of around 100%, expanding from a small trade show of 40 stands to taking over Earls Court 2.
It will once again be staged alongside Futurebuild, showcasing innovations in construction, and Cityscape, home to the largest indoor representation of landscape design. This underlines the importance of sustainable development to the UK construction sector and demonstrates the number of firms now shouting about their green products and ability to help developers achieve carbon neutrality.
