was there today, very much an expansion of the renewable energy section of the PLAN Expo.
I was dissappointed at the number of 'sales' persons on the stands and lack of 'technicial' people, but i suppose it was designed as a 'business to business' gathering.

plenty of solar collectors, PV collectors, biomass boilers etc.

I was disappointed by the SIGA stand, small and not very informative... their 'comic' booklet was a bit condesending....... but they were the only air tightness membrane stand so fair dues....

one thing i did notice was the lack of 'in your face' marketing from the multifoil crowd compared to PLAN. Their shortcomings seem to be hitting home.

Had an indepth discussion with a number of SEI/BER adjudication people - ANY product that can not verify performance with agrement certification WILL NOT be accepted as part of a BER assessment - and you know - I believe them - they want evidence, boiler systems/renewables/insulations values/accredited details.= AND MULTIFOILS specifically

Yep, be carefull with some of the products you specify for a build, they will need to be independently tested.

Did anyone go? How was it? I intened on going today but could not get out of work early enough....

Anything interesting worth a mention?

I went yesterday and attended the SEI seminars. One comment I would make and was made to me by several people was the amount of solar products.... maybe that's because they are so visible. As someone said it was very much an extension of Plan Expo. As a day out, Plan Expo would be a better event for the average architectural technologist.

Have to say I was a little disappointed with SEI and their afternoon session, and the rushed ending so they get get to listen to the Minister, rather than encourage and engage in debate and discussion with the attendance.

The one conclusion I did draw for the seminars is, not every solution, is suitable for every situation and that we may be soon at the situation where we will be cooling our buildings, rather than heating them.

I think that they should have had some free seminars explaining say how to best use a heat pump with solar heating for example. At the Civilex seminar they had several of these (free) talks throughout the day. CIRIA conducted one on attenuation and had a book with all the design features, which was followed by questions and answers from anyone on the floor....not just the lucky people who paid for the seminar.;)
