Government launches of a website to promote green products and services
30 March 2015
The Government is launching a new website that will promote the current products available on the market in relation of green buildings. Malta is already making a lot of advances in relation to greener buildings however it is clear that there is a larger need for more improvement for this concept to grow. This week architect Ivan Bartalo project officer at BICC (Building Industry Consultative Council) visited GRTU to deliver a presentation to a number of operators that provide smart technologies. Through this presentation Mr Bartalo explained the aim of the website and also highlighted the key products and services to be featured in the website.
These product include:
- Solar thermal heating systems
- Photovoltaic panel systems
- New build and retrofit insulation
- Double glazing doors and windows
- Cladding systems
- Hard flooring systems
This initiative targets consumers to promote products and services that are energy efficient and smart technologies that lead to lower energy consumption and/or the generation of renewable energy. The website will provide information:
- on the concept of green buildings
- product catalogue of local building technologies
- job descriptions of certified technicians, designers, consultancy and other specialist services
- technical product information
- non-technical advice for homeowners
The government believes that this initiative will not only benefit consumers that will be able to invest in energy efficient technology but also local suppliers that will be able to reach a wider audience.
