Greenbuild Expo is back at Manchester Central, this year on May 7th and 8th. The sustainable buildings and refurbishment event offers delegates the opportunity to attend a packed schedule of debates, workshops and seminars, and network with exhibitors showcasing the latest green products and solutions - all for free!

This year’s expo also sees the launch of the ‘Greenbuild Challenge’ which invites individuals and organisations to make a pledge to take more action to improve a building. And, crucially, to then make it happen. From switching to LED lighting or installing a new bike rack, to a full green retrofit, the campaign aims to educate and inspire people within the industry to keep striving for a more sustainable built environment and to recognise that more must be done to improve the collective green performance.

The campaign will follow several themes:

- behavioural change to improve the performance of buildings
- sustainable retrofitting
- sustainable cities & smart buildings
- materials and methods: making an impact

The best achievements from the campaign - the ones judged to show a positive change to both buildings and to the individuals who use them - will then be shown at the Greenbuild Expo. With a pledge that every building owner can afford to make, and can’t afford not to, this showcase will hopefully show that making buildings more sustainable is an achievable and rewarding goal.
