Eden Project to host Green Build exhibition

28.03.11

The Eden Project will host Cornwall’s first exhibition of sustainable building on April 8 and 9.

Green Build Cornwall has been organised by Cornwall Sustainable Building Trust with funding support from ESF (European Social Fund) Convergence.

It will showcase green building options and the renewable energy sector in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as well as training and career development opportunities throughout the country.

Eden’s sustainability manager Caron Thompson told Business Cornwall: “The interest in building sustainably is increasing rapidly and Cornwall is well-placed to be a leader in this field so we are delighted that this event is being held at the Eden Project.

“It is a great opportunity for visitors to Eden to see some of the fantastic work and innovation going on in and around Cornwall.”

Friday’s seminars are aimed specifically at the construction industry, while Saturday includes seminars for the general public. The range of topics includes low impact building and recycled building materials, living roofs, waste minimisation and retrofitting.
