During the trade fair, the various projects completed in Costa Rica were presented to more than 300 stakeholders in the green building industry and members of the Green Building Council of America. The event also provided a forum for important talks with renowned national and international experts.

Students and developers also attended the congress.

The opening of the Green Building congress also marked the start of the Green Expo at which Veos Water was one of the exhibitors. The programme touched upon key issues such as LEED v4, affordable housing, andurban ecological and environmental planning.

We were pleased topresent the entire range of Veoswater-harvestingsolutions to those architectural firms and builders operating within the green building industry.Our aim was to meet with operators in the ecological building sector in Central America and discuss our various areas of expertise: treatment of wastewater, rainwater harvestingand greywater treatment. Veos technology can generate drinking water saving of up to 80% while reducing the impact on the environment.

Our presence at the expo allowed us to successfully achieve these aims!
