AN INFORMATION AND BUSINESS FORUM FOR BUILDING FUTURES
26th BATIMAT focuses on Sustainable Development
The promotional thrust of BATIMAT is Sustainable Development, an area that offers the construction industry considerable opportunities for progress.
This issue can now be approached pragmatically from an operational angle in the Building sector, and we are starting to see some significant initiatives and real achievements in Europe, particularly in France.

BATIMAT 2007 turns the spotlight on the renovation market based on the significant position it occupies in the context of construction markets overall. The promotional campaigns and special events at the next exhibition will address the major issues specific to this sector, e.g. energy management, safety, accessibility and comfort.
