Curtain raiser
At the curtain raiser event, organised by Build Intec and Codissia, at Hotel Aloft here, the Chairman of the Coimbatore Chapter of Indian Green Building Council, Mr Rajesh B. Lund, said there would be a seminar on ‘Green Building – The Only way' on February 18, where the focus would be on green houses and conversion of existing factories to green factories.
He said the green building concept was catching up, albeit slowly.
The President of the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Coimbatore, Dr M. Krishnan, said such events would serve as platforms for showcasing Coimbatore globally. ‘Though the city has grown, we have failed to market the city,' he added.
Lead Bank Manager, Mr J. Vanangamudi, said there was a slight reversal in trend with bankers now approaching various builders evincing their interest to participate in such fairs. “Banks participation would also help visitors have a fair idea of the product offerings of different banks, make a comparison of the interest rate, and understand the market trend,” he added.
