25/05/2011

velta is delighted to announce that its second Sustainable Design and Construction Forum, held in association with Hanson Building Products, Stuarts Industrial Flooring and Creagh Concrete at Lord’s cricket ground in London on 24th March, was a great success.

The London Forum took place at the fantastic location of Lord’s Cricket Ground. Over 80 delegates from consultants to engineers and architects attended with many enjoying a tour of Lord’s beforehand!

velta’s Forum is a key event in the UK, dedicated to professionals in the commercial, residential and industrial buildings market and a meeting point for industry leading experts, specialists, government bodies, partnerships and associations.

The event provided building owners, managers, architects, contractors, consultants and M&E engineers with the latest knowledge in the development of TABS (Thermo Active Building Systems), including renovation solutions for the cooling and heating of offices.

Speakers from well known international organisations such as Dr. Rennie Chadwick from VINCI Construction, Professor Doug King of King Shaw Associates, David Firth of Sir Robert McAlpine and Professor Bjarne Olesen from the University of Denmark provided information on recent projects and offered the opportunity for question and answer sessions.

Sustainability is at the forefront of many political and environmental agendas. velta’s TABS allow existing energy to be utilised to provide environmentally friendly heating and cooling to many large development schemes.

Gerald Kemp, Managing Director at velta, commented: “Our first TABS event was such a success that we wanted to bring it to London. Lord’s is a fantastic venue and all the delegates that attended from across the UK as well as overseas, felt that it was a valuable and informative event within the specialist TABS field.”
