Huge rush at the WEBUILD energy saving fair presented by the "Krone". 380 exhibitors were on hand with products and advice. And one thing seems clear: many of the visitors come to the trade fair with very specific concerns and questions.

Before it was possible to enter the grounds at 9 a.m., people were already crowding the entrances; a little later, Halls 19, 20 and 21 were bustling with activity!

The WEBUILD energy saving trade fair presented by the "Krone" was literally stormed in Wels. 380 exhibitors put the spotlight on innovations in the areas of building, living, heating, energy and bathrooms.

From changing the heating system to renovation tips - visitors to the fair were looking for answers.

"We've had a groundwater heat pump since 1984, and now we're due to replace it - we want to know what's right for us," reveal Ernst and Maria Kitzberger from Pesenbach. Rudolf and Marlene Arthofer from Scharten looked around for windows.
