Celotex Insulating Briatain campaign begins at Ecobuild
Ecobuild highlights for me included a visit to the Celotex Insulating Britain’ campaign bus parked inside the exhibition hall; learning about the impact of BIM from Assa Abloy; great presentation (and hospitality) from Wilo; favourite new British product was the hybrid solar panel from Solar Angel; and I have featured a PEFC video from the show on how to achieve top timber certification on projects.
I also found time to visit the Saint Gobain Innovation Centre to meet Didier Roux who gave a brilliant talk on R&D & Innovation. We hope to feature the video & notes form this shortly on Buildingtalk.
