Europe‘s building stock accounts for 36% CO2 emissions and for 40% energy demand. It offers a huge leverage to contribute not only to environmental protection, but also to good health, living comfort and economic growth. Improving the energy-efficiency of both new and existing buildings is key to achieve EU's 2050 objectives. The EAE Awards demonstrate that energy-efficient buildings and superb architecture go hand in hand. We reward inspiring projects from accross Europe that have already demonstrated that the transition is possible already today. 👉 Curious?

Traffic operational center, Chur, Switzerland Open Competition 1st prize, 2021 After two years of planning and construction the projet becomes reality. The new building was launched as a pilot project as part of the “Green Deal for Graubünden” action plan and is being used as a lighthouse project in the field of sustainable building implemented. The commissioning of the transport base will functionality in terms of traffic technology as well as in terms of transportation as well as energy and environmental improved. The new traffic base gives the cantonal police a contemporary appearance and is a commitment by the canton's commitment to sustainability. In this flagship project, sustainability is seen as an understood as an integral component and combined with with high-quality architecture. The sustainable approach is based on on the entire life cycle of the building, including project planning, construction, management and dismantling. The design as a net-zero building, as well as the Minergie-A-Eco standard features an energy-efficient and resource efficient and resource-saving construction method and includes solar power production, low-tech, sufficiency, recyclability and an optimized microclimate. #cois #comamalaismailarchitectes https://lnkd.in/eF-DtZPy

Denmark is set to implement stricter climate requirements for the construction sector starting July 1, 2025. New buildings will need to adhere to a maximum CO2e emission limit of 7.1 kg/m²/year. These regulations will impact all stages of construction and apply to a wider range of buildings, including unheated structures over 50 m² and extensions to multi-story residences and offices. "The new requirements just make it even more important to focus on construction and choice of materials in the very early phases of a project. (...) That is why we have entered into a collaboration with revalu," says Cameline Bolbroe, Head of Sustainability and Innovation at KHR Architecture “This collaboration means that our own digital material library is now part of Revalus’s extensive online database, which contains over 12,000 materials and products. This makes our work with material choices more efficient and tangible, while allowing us to better compare different solutions and assess their performance from a sustainability perspective,” explains Cameline Bolbroe. 👉 Read more about our work together with KHR Architecture here (in Danish): https://lnkd.in/eniGs4eR

📅 PANEL DISCUSSION Next week, BAU - the world's leading trade fair for architecture, materials and systems - will be hosting a special DGNB show under the motto ‘How sustainable building works’. Between the many presentations, short seminars and network meetings, a number of experts from the fields of sustainability will also be coming together for a panel discussion on Monday.  The question ‘More than green claims: What architects really need to know from manufacturers’ will be discussed by Julian Gaviria (Head of Sustainable Transformation, HPP Architekten), Christoph Kluesener (ESG Manager, Sievert SE), Prof. Amandus Samsøe Sattler (DGNB President, co-founder and owner of ensømble Studio Architektur), Michael Scharpf (Head of Sustainable Building, Holcim Germany) and Dr. Thomas Schlenker (SVP Digitalisation/IT & Sustainability, Schüco). The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Christine Lemaitre (Managing Director of DGNB e.V.). The discussion panel will bring together the perspectives of manufacturers and architects. The new sustainability declaration for building products, which was developed as part of the ‘Phase Sustainability’ initiative, will also be presented for the first time. 💚 Come along and look forward to an exciting and inspiring discussion!

❗ Sustainability ❗ Diversity ❗ Inclusion It is interesting to see how the keywords at Scandinavian construction industry events change over time. For many years, I have been travelling to construction conferences, supplier meetings and networking events in #Sweden, #Norway and #Denmark. The projects presented there have not changed that much over the years, but the way they are presented has. At the Building Network Construction Conference (#BNCC) in Copenhagen yesterday, there was no keynote speech that didn't include keywords such as sustainability, diversity, inclusion and innovation. And of course, there was a reason for this. The construction industry has an enormous carbon footprint and therefore offers huge potential for climate protection measures. Thanks, Mickey Lund from Building Network, for giving so much space to these topics at this year's conference. It was great to see how much effort the industry is now putting into becoming more sustainable. Keep it up! #architecture #construction

How can we honour the past while designing for the future? At Sweco, we believe transformation is the key. By reimagining historic buildings, we breathe new life into cultural landmarks, ensuring they remain functional and relevant for generations to come. Transforming historic spaces is about more than preservation—it's about crafting a narrative that connects the past with the present. Our approach blends architectural expertise, sustainability and innovative design to revitalise these sites, striking a delicate balance between heritage and modern functionality. “We aim to create an identity that draws inspiration from its past. You have to respect the building's history and key qualities and use them to activate a potential that brings the story to life,” says Bjørn Mogensen, Market Manager and Creative Leader, Transformation & Renovation at Sweco Denmark. Explore our latest article about how our creative solutions are transforming historic sites into vibrant spaces that inspire and endure. https://lnkd.in/d6baR-bC #SwecoGroup #TransformingSocietyTogether

To comprehend the design process from inception to completion, we need to take a broad view. Our architectural choices have implications not only for the future occupants of the structures we design but also for the surrounding ecosystem. As society becomes increasingly aware of the positive and negative impacts, we, as designers, feel accountable for intentionally shaping spaces that are conducive to human well-being and environmentally friendly. On April 23rd, we'll be in Warsaw sharing our insights about well-being at the "ESG: Path to a Sustainable Future of Construction" conference! This time, we'll delve into the correlation between designing well-being in architecture and sustaining environmental well-being. The event will also explore themes such as the utilization of low-energy materials in production, the adoption of suitable construction technologies, and the optimization of construction processes within the framework of ESG reports. The conference will take place atop the Skyliner building, offering not just insights into design processes but also a fresh perspective on Warsaw! See you there! #esg #conference #internationalconference #arkancesystemspoland #hag
