The Institute for Energy Performance of Buildings Europe (BPIE) published in August 2012 a roadmap for the construction of the Buildings with almost Zero Energy Consumption (nZEB) for the countries of South-East Europe. The first principle is the reduction of the buildings energy load. The elevators are part of buildings and they can be included in the definition of nZEB because they consume 8-10% of the electricity.

 

In February, the Bulgarian Parliament accepted amendments to the Energy Efficiency Act, which foresee working out of a national plan for the increase of the number of nZEB and the country has a significant potential to cut the energy consumption levels and related carbon emissions in buildings.

 

LiftBalkans is the only specialized show in Bulgaria devoted to elevators, escalators, components and accessories, monitoring and safety systems, etc. It will make its premiere within the framework of the 9th South-East European Eco Forum & Exhibition (29-31 May 2013, Sofia).

 

LiftBalkans will be a meeting point between specialists and decision-makers from SE Europe, involved in the sectors of: lifts /elevators/escalators, investment, building, construction and architecture, facility management, state authorities, etc.
