Altered
building process for sustainable solutions
One
of the most important tasks for today's building
industry is to identify working methods to change
the building process and produce ecologically sustainable
solutions and healthy buildings. GreenZone represents
an opportunity to implement these methods through
technical solutions as well as the building process
itself.
LACK
OF KNOWLEDGE LEADS TO SICK BUILDINGS
There are many environmental problems in the building
industr y. These are often caused by shortcomings
in building technology, poor material selection,
chemical use, fragmented environmental solutions
and high energy consumption while building, in the
production of building material and in operation
of the finished building. Studies by WHO show that
30 percent of all buildings raised after the Second
World War are so-called sick buildings.
With
a new approach and a comprehensive view of the entire
building process, from design to operation, future
buildings can offer substantially better living
and working environments while, at the same time,
taking nature's terms into account.
