Industry Concern Over New Energy Initiatives
Delegates at a seminar held at BRE, voiced their concerns about the implementation of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
Established by clockwork radio inventor Trevor Baylis OBE, TBB helps inventors and industry by promoting better use of the UK's inventive talents.
TBB currently evaluates more than a hundred ideas from innovators a month, and will be bringing these skills and systems to support BRE in two key areas.
Firstly, BRE is promoting the interchange of ideas within the construction industry, and has set up an Intellectual Property exchange where subscribers can review new ideas and technologies.
The expertise that TBB brings to evaluating the Intellectual Property inherent in new ideas, will help to ensure that good ideas can be successfully transferred into the industrial partners participating in the scheme.
Secondly, many of the innovative ideas that TBB evaluates have applications in the Construction Industry.
TBB will be working in a joint venture with BRE to market and sell these.
The two organisations have already conducted extensive trials on a Direct Air Drying system that can halve the drying time of floors and walls, so minimising the waiting time and cost before new buildings can be occupied.
TBB Chairman Trevor Baylis says, 'British inventors are full of new ideas and we are looking forward to improving the effectiveness of British Industry by jointly developing those new ideas that will really make a difference'.
'The British construction industry is one of the best in the world,' says Martin Wyatt BRE's CEO, 'and we want to make sure it stays there by making the best use of the nation's talent and ideas.'.
