Topic of energy efficiency proves productive

Around 168 000 prospective customers visited the Italian building fair Saie, which amounts to about one per cent more than last year. The organisers emphasize the positive development of Saienergia, a segment that was present in four halls this time and dealt with energy-efficient and sustainable building methods and materials. The Italian building industry is expected to record a deficit of four per cent in 2010. However, a marked recovery is expected in some areas in 2011.
