Future of Construction Keynote Speaker
Roof gardens keep flat roofs cool in Summer – and also help insulate in winter.
They require little maintenance and reduce energy bills significantly. 12% of roofs are “green” in Germany already, and Tokyo law requires at least 20% of all new roofs to be “green”.
Studies on Chicago City Hall after installation showed that roof temperatures fell by up to 30 degrees C on hot summer days and surrounding areas were cooler by 9 degrees C. We know that with every degree less difference between internal and external temperature, the fuel bill can fall by up to 10%.

Future of Energy, Oil and Gas - Keynote Speaker
Smart power regulation means that spikes of electricity demand can be managed by automatically turning off certain devices in factories, offices and homes when the grid is under strain. It also means that electricity pricing can be varied from hour to hour depending on demand. Power companies have huge challenges managing peak demand and the result is wasted energy and extra costs. Take Australia: on the hottest four days a year, energy use can jump by over 50% compared to the average. 10% of the entire generating capacity of the country is used for just four days a year.
