Perspectives

Trying out more sustainability

<p data-block-key="felz0">Construction is responsible for around 40 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. That is why, before every construction project, questions arise such as: Do we really have to tear everything down and build anew? Or is it better to examine the existing building, renovate it and adapt it to our changing needs? Every building requires such analyses and decisions, which have a direct impact on the environment.</p>

<p data-block-key="td5sa">Current developments in the sustainable use of resources and the recyclability of building materials offer the opportunity to build flat components such as floor slabs and walls using wooden building materials, e.g., cross-laminated timber and composite structures.</p>
