Ecobuild pavilion at China Expo Build
 
  Suppliers of green building materials are facing an enormous market potential. It is estimated in the coming 10 years half of the world’s building activities will take place in China, with around 2 bilion sqm of construction built in 2005. Projects are comparatively huge with average commercial buildings covering 100-150000 sqm and residential developments reaching up to 500000 sqm. Buildings are 4-6 times less energy-efficient compared to buildings in Western Europe. With frequent shortage of energy, the city government of Shanghai is enforcing energy efficiency standards; starting from 2005 already 6 million sqm of building projects are subject to the new energy saving building standards.
   
  The German perspective on energy-efficient buildings will be presented by ecobuild during the Green Building at Expo Build 2006. German and local experts will be presenting their concepts of energy efficient buildings, on April 4th, 2.00 pm to 4.30 pm, in Hall 3, meeting room, mezzanine level. A preview on the ecobuild building projects will be offered at the ecobuild pavilion, Hall W5, Booth Number 5E13.
