‘Green Building’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release National Homebuilding and Renovating Show at NEC from National Homebuilding & Renovating Show, which we summarised at the time by saying "NEC Birmingham 18 - 21 March is your opportunity meet over 450 of UK's leading self-build and renovation companies and view the latest products, services and trends.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release John Brash's opinion on centre cut roofing batten from John Brash & Co: "John Brash has taken a tough stance on sub-standard roofing batten in the market, supported by the publication of the new British Standard.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from DuPont Tyvek - take a look at DuPont Tyvek UV Facade for new Sports Hall which says: "DuPont Tyvek UV Facade has been used on the rainscreen walls of the Little Venice Sports Centre in London, where it sits behind Finnforest Thermowood timber cladding to protect against UV exposure.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from National Homebuilding & Renovating Show, Generate income by installing green technology, as well as Selectaglaze windows specified for Rock Tower from Selectaglaze, and Gradient provides school with flat roofing system from Gradient Flat Roofing.
