Exhibitions & Seminars
The Self Build and design show at Exeter 12-13th September 2009
Green Build Expo in Manchester on 17th and 18th June 2009. Not particularly ’self build’ but some interesting seminars and products for the self builder.
The Ecobuild exhibition at Earls Court has become a major venue to see some of the best in green building products and services (and also one or two dinosaur companies pretending they have something green to offer). Also there are many good free seminars on a wide range of green build subjects. It is interesting to note however that there is increasing concern from the likes of the Green Building Forum about the real ‘green-ness’ of such events.
The Homebuilding and Renovating Show - Regular regional exhibitions for self-build, renovation, conversion and home improvement.
Homes for Good - Homes and landscaping exhibition in Exeter
All Energy - the renewables show in Aberdeen.
Ignition09 was the UK’s first dedicated wood fuel expo and free for visitors.
Fintry Renewable Energy Show (FRESh ‘09) was a two day show of how the village of Fintry, near Stirling has invested in a wind generater at a nearby wind farm and is using the income to make the village more sustainable. The show is likely to be repeated in 2010.
