The 18th edition of CONCRETA - Construction Materials International Fair will be the stage of a pioneer enterprise in our country, which is the construction from the bases of a domotic or intelligent house.
This house, which will combine a contemporary architectonic component with a domotic characteristic, comes from EXPONOR's wish to create, in their fairs, spaces for innovation, interaction and reflection.
As the center of our living, the house is a place that has been assuming, as ever, particular importance for the individuals' welfare, at it made all the sense placing it on the top of the attentions during a construction fair and, this way, paying it the right homage and importance.
By promoting this initiative, EXPONOR intents on one hand to demystify domotic use, which we remind that it means the simultaneous use of electricity, electronics and computer science applied to the house technical management, and on the other hand present, at the present "state of art", products, solutions and equipments that allow a better management of some variables like comfort, coziness, security and wellbeing, always guided by a good environmental fitting.
To accomplish this work it was crucial not only a great team's job, from the work architects to Exponor employees, but essentially of the dozens of companies that supplied the house and helped to make a dream come true.
