Over 41,000 visitors at Ecobuild 2010
Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Milliband, had to fight his way through the crowds to launch his Eco Homes Strategy on the opening morning of Ecobuild 2010.
It was a scene that continued for the three days of what turned out to be the biggest Ecobuild yet - with over 41,000 visitors – an increase in attendance of nearly 20% compared with 2009, and an emphatic demonstration that even in the teeth of a recession, the construction sector is alive to the benefits of sustainable and innovative construction.
