With sustainable construction becoming more and more of a front line issue the Dubodag was initiated to assemble all parties interested in sustainable construction such as government officials, companies and project teams, and to encourage them to move to more sustainable innovations.
During the day over 250 prominent people of the construction industry took part including the president of the Architect Association, the Energy Platform and the Dutch Construction Association, as well as a professor from the Industrial Design Technical University in Delft, various politicians and many managing directors of residence cooperation, utility advisers, energy saving foundations, community projects and sustainability organizations.
During the Dubodag, there were group discussions, inspiring speakers, presentations and innovative projects on sustainability. This year the Dubodag centred around cradle to cradle projects.
One of the main goals of the European Union is to sharpen the energy saving of buildings and insulation has been acknowledged as the manner in which to achieve this goal. The key objective of the day was not to discuss energy saving possibilities, but accomplishments and many speakers referred to Knauf Insulation and ECOSE Technology as an inspiring example of such an accomplishment.
