"Plastics in Buildings - Solutions for Energy Efficiency" Overview

Plastic Building Products are being increasingly favored because of their durability, versatility and ability to conserve energy. Plastics are used to make a wide variety of building products, in flooring, windows, plumbing, DWV piping, insulation, roofing and electrical fittings. In this Seminar, the focus is on energy saving applications.

Did you know that building with plastics saves energy and money, and protects the environment?

Although you may not realize it, plastics are a very important material in the building sector. In fact, roughly 20% of all the plastics used in Europe are used for products in the building industry. And after packaging, the building industry is the second highest user of plastics!

So what's all this plastic used for? Plastics pipes for transporting water or sewage, plastics windows - to ensure warmth and coolness stay in and noise stays out! Plastic flooring coverings [like you may have in your kitchen], foam made from plastic used for insulating the house and of course, plastics are also used in many different appliances - plastics are even used in the foundations of the house and the paint!

Why is plastics so important? Well, in today's world, energy efficiency is very essential. In fact, apart from transport, housing is the second biggest consumer of energy. Plastics make great insulators and sealers which helps enormously in improving energy efficiency and reducing harmful CO, emissions.

This Seminar will cover topics of current relevance to educate builders architects, plastics industry professionals about energy savings made possible through use of plastics in the building industry.
