Climbing energy prices and continuing climate change are putting a strain on the entire construction and real-estate industry. In addition to an environmentally friendly and cost efficient energy supply, health and well-being will also factor into the value of a piece of property, thereby always taking into account the entire life cycle. The industry must rise up to meet these holistic challenges.
A huge potential for architects, planers and craftsmen can be found in the renovation of existing buildings. By integrating innovative facade systems for example, an improved heat insulation can be achieved. When planing new buildings in the future, the optimal use of the building’s orientation and design will have to be taken more closely into consideration. Ecological building materials are an economical and ecologically sensible alternative for healthy and comfortable living.
More information, trends and proposals surrounding this topic and others can be found at the first Impulse Conference GreenBuilding on Oct. 10th, 2008 in Augsburg. Experts on the economy, practical application and politics will present reports on current trends and important things to know about the industry.
In the first part of the conference, political instruments, international trends and certifications will be in the foreground. The second part will inform you of the costs of the life cycle and maintaining real-estate value, as well as healthy and comfortable construction and living. The complete conference program can be found at www.renexpo.de.
Parallel to the congress, the main theme of the trade fair “InterGreenBuilding” will present products and services for more efficient buildings and sustainable architecture. The motto of the special trade fair this year is “energy efficiency – comfort – climate protection” and is part of the leading trade fair RENEXPO® in Augsburg.
The RENEXPO® is unique partly because of its wide range of topics. It is an internationally recognized trade fair for renewable energy and energy efficient construction and renovation. This year for the ninth time, the RENEXPO® will take place from Oct. 9th-12th, 2008. In addition to the trade fair and conference, visitors will also be presented with a free presentation program.
