The fairs were opened by the Minister of Construction and Physical Planning, Anka Mrak Taritas, who said that these fairs showed what the future of the Croatian construction sector was. "The future is not building a large number of kilometres of motorway or a large number of apartments. The future is improving what we have, new technologies, new knowledge, new materials and energy efficiency," she said.
The minister said that the construction sector should switch to new technologies and join energy efficiency projects.
The focus of the three fairs is on energy efficiency technologies and equipment and on raising awareness of renewable energy sources.
The fairs will be accompanied by lectures, presentations and workshops. They close on April 25.
