THE most innovative sustainable building solutions on the market will be showcased at ecoConstruct Expo 2013 that has been established in response to notable developments in building regulations such as Estidama.

The region’s only event solely dedicated to sustainable building materials and solutions will be held in April (16 to 18) at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Abu Dhabi, UAE, along with the seventh edition of Cityscape Abu Dhabi and the inaugural ID Expo.

“Being the region’s leading event focusing on green sustainability, ecoConstruct Expo has a crucial role to play in what is an ever-increasing priority for the building industry,” said Chris Speller, commercial director, Informa.

“Together with Cityscape Abu Dhabi, the expo is perfectly aligned to provide a holistic view of one of the region’s key economic sectors.”

Both events are supported by Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADDCI) as a strategic partner while Emirates Steel is ecoConstruct Expo’s principal sponsor.

The expo will highlight sustainable building solutions, providing a key platform for the industry stakeholders to launch brand new products and initiatives to meet current demand.

It will also feature summits, workshops and training courses that will provide opportunities to network with industry peers in order to establish a presence in the growing UAE market.

Adnan Sharafi, Emirates Green Building Council (Emirates/GBC) chairman, said: “The construction industry in the region is witnessing robust growth, and emerging from the challenges faced in the last few years. Industry stakeholders seek materials and processes that will not only help optimise resource use efficiency, but also contribute to cost and energy savings in the long run.”
