Tuesday 30^th October 2012 was the day that the Genesis Centre hosted an RGB Eco Supplies launch event. Not only was it a celebration of RGB’s sponsorship of the Wheat room but an opportunity for visitors to view installations from the RGB Eco Supplies range and discuss them with the product providers. 

Solar Systems Ltd demonstrated a new solar panel product designed forthe garden and shed roof, which provides convenient supplementary energy to the household or garden shed and able to be relocated when moving house.

South West Lighting & Electrical took over the Maize room with a variety of impressive energy efficient LED products. 

Gloucester Composites Ltd was present to explain the benefits of their latest innovation in Rain Water Harvesting; the ‘E Cube’, which can be used above or below the ground. This provider attracted many questions following their presentation at the KEG Networking Evening and theirsuperb response was informative. 

WPL Environmental Wastewater Solutions, provider of high quality rainwater harvesting systems, was there to advise visitors about how their designs can save up to 50% of mains water.

Vado, a leading bathroom brassware manufacturer, was wowing visitors and other product providers with their water saving taps, showers, accessories and fittings. 

Nutshell Natural and Eco Friendly Paints had a powerful light-bulb display to demonstrate the effectiveness of their thermo-emulsion paint that uses micro technology to reflect thermal radiation, help prevent condensation and reduce heating demands. 

Dulux Trade were present to highlight the benefits of their ‘Light & Space’ and ‘ecosure’ products.  Light & Space uses unique LumiTec Technology to absorb 8% less light than conventional emulsion and is now reflecting light from the walls of the Wheat room. 

We have the following quote from RGB Chairman, Colin Worth:  

"The recent partnership between RGB and the Genesis Centre has become an important part of our eco and renewables strategy. Working closely with key suppliers we have installed a range of products at Genesis within the RGB Eco room, following the blueprint of our three Eco Centres based in Barnstaple, Exeter and Holsworthy.  Those who attended the RGB launch at Genesis were impressed by the variety of products available; from water and energy saving through to alternative heating and eco paints. Our goal is to show that eco products can be used throughout the house building process to achieve a wide range of objectives. A message which has been well received by those who have visited our room at the Genesis Centre"
