The Building Forum, meanwhile, will showcase “innovative solutions for the professional design and realisation of buildings and real estate and for their energy-efficient operation”. The Stove Forum will look at current issues in this sector including energy policy, the potential of wood as a heating fuel, as well as recent technical developments and trends.
