Sustainability focus at Interbuild

With stand space 93% sold out and over 800 companies confirmed, Interbuild 2007 takes place from Sunday 28 October to Thursday 1 November 2007 at the NEC in Birmingham
Sections proving very popular with exhibitors are Hall 3’s Heating, Plumbing and Ventilation; Flooring and the CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association) home automation area.
“Social trends have a dramatic impact on the industry and the response we’ve had to the new Cedia area is a prime example,” said Interbuild event director, Gordon Thomas. “Home automation features are fast becoming highly sought after and property developers are tapping into this as a key point of differentiation.
“Another obvious key driver at the moment is sustainability. The Eco Interbuild initiatives have been well received with many exhibitors choosing to enter the new Eco Product Showcase. In addition, we’re working with key trade bodies to put together a thought provoking seminar schedule and the BRE’s talks on low carbon homes, in particular, have generated a lot of interest already - as well as similarly ‘green’ themed sessions proposed by Riba CPD and Trada.”
Hall 3/3a also sees Lighting and Electrical back at Interbuild with the new Voltimum Centre in place (see right for details).
