Ecobuild is getting smaller every year and must be half the size it was 2 – 3 years ago but still worthwhile. Interesting talk about biomimicry and how we might make bio materials which perhaps have a shorter working life but are part of a fully closed loop system and so reduce carbon overall. Liked EBS offering of ESB which is like OSB but much more vapour open so could be used externally with OSB internally and maintain a good balance of relative vapour openness across the structure.
