ASIA - UBM has hailed its inaugural Southeast Asian event for sustainable design, construction and built environment a success, after it attracted more than 5,500 visitors.
Ecobuild Southeast Asia was held on 17-19 September at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The organiser said the event was strategically designed to incorporate elements of Green Build Asia, Eco Light Asia and Solar Asia, and was opened by Datuk Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof, the Malaysian minister of works.
"I believe that Ecobuild Southeast Asia along with Green Build Asia provides a perfect platform for regional industry players and policy-makers to source for the latest information on sustainable products and green design in the construction and building industry," said the minister.
A three-day conference and seminar programme ran alongside the exhibition, followed by debate sessions that featured BRE, architect Foster & Partners and the Carbon Trust.
The 2014 event will return to the Putra World Trade Centre on 17-19 September 2014.
