| EWEA 2012 first ever event to be labelled WindMade EWEA 2012 Conference & Exhibition in Copenhagen is the first event ever to be labelled by WindMade. The total electricity consumed at the event will be procured exclusively by wind power. For an event to be WindMade labelled, it needs to procure 100% of its electricity footprint from renewable power. For EWEA2012, this includes the six month long event preparations at the EWEA offices, the power usage at the Bella Center and electricity used at the social events (receptions and conference dinner). The WindMade events standard was developed following strong demand from conference organisers wishing to differentiate their events by showing their commitment to wind power. Under the WindMade Technical Standard, any kind of event could be labelled - from a theatre production to a trade fair, from a big sports event to a small conference. Since the WindMade program only addresses electricity use, conference organisers are also encouraged to offset all other carbon emissions such as transport, heating and others. EWEA Annual Event is Europe's premier wind energy event. In 2012, the event will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, the leading country in European wind power technology. Over 10,000 professionals from around the world are expected to attend and experience the power of the wind energy industry. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
