“The Yapı Exhibition Continues to Grow”
Stating that the Yapı Exhibition, as an international platform, has been mirroring the building industry of our country for 43 years, Banu Keskin, Director of the Yapı Exhibition – Turkeybuild, said:  "Yapı Exhibition-Turkeybuild Istanbul, organized since 1978, continues to be the largest and most important "Building and Construction Exhibition" that gathers together all the components of the building industry. From the day of its start to today, it has managed to gradually increase the number of its exhibitors and visitors every year with the support and contribution of the professionals in the industry. We also expect that the number of exhibitors and visitors will increase despite the pandemic this year."

The Business Volume Reached 1 Billion at the 43th Yapı Exhibition!
She pointed out that the business volume reached €1 Billion at the 43rd Yapı Exhibition organized last year and added: "Yapı Exhibition is one of the exhibitions that provides foreign exchange inflow to our country and has a significant share in the export. The exhibition brings together all prominent national and foreign exhibitors. This year, there will be more than 40 foreign exhibitors from 15 countries, including Germany, Russia, China, South Korea, and Qatar in particular. We will also organize our VIP Hosted Buyer Program, about which we receive very positive feedback, this year. In 2021, we hosted 218 professional hosted buyers from a total of 11 countries. And this year, we will surpass the figures of last year and host nearly 250 Hosted Buyers from more than 25 countries at our exhibition. In this respect, we still conduct negotiations with our targeted markets in the Middle East, Russia and Africa regions.

 Additionally, all exhibitors will be able to communicate quickly and effectively with the smartphones and the internet application called "Hyve Connect" without any charges during the exhibition, thus, they will have the opportunity to expand their professional network with appropriate customers and suppliers."
Banu Keskin explained the amendment to The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) that has been recently updated as follows: ‘35% of the energy is consumed in residential buildings in our country. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) was put into effect on January 1st, 2011, with the steps taken by our state to start and improve energy efficiency in the buildings. This Directive has recently been updated.  With the amendment published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Turkey, the definition of NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Buildings) was added to the directive and it has become compulsory for buildings with a construction area of more than 5000 m2 to be constructed in a way that meets the requirements of NZEB as of January 1st, 2023. With this adjustment, the thermal insulation of the buildings will necessarily be increased. This amendment, which will contribute to sustainability, will allow houses to be heated more with less energy.’’

The International Zero Energy Buildings Summit-Zerobuild Summit’22 Will Be Held at the Yapı Exhibition for 4 Days.
