Building for the future: Is IG Life Cycle Construction on the right track?

Awareness of the effects of climate change is omnipresent these days. There is no question that changes are also necessary in the construction industry in order to become more sustainable. Since its founding in 2012, the IG Life Cycle Construction has been intensively concerned with the question of how construction should be designed in the future. This organization now counts over 90 companies and institutions from the Austrian construction and real estate industry among its members.

The vision of IG Life Cycle Construction extends beyond conventional construction methods. Its aim is to promote sustainable and innovative approaches that take the life cycle of buildings into account. By integrating environmental aspects, energy efficiency and economic aspects, the organization strives to establish a future-oriented building culture.

The focus is on stacking buildings vertically to use resources more efficiently while saving space. This method is reminiscent of the layers of a delicious nougat, where each layer is part of the larger whole. Vertical stacking can be used to create innovative architectural concepts that make sense both ecologically and economically.

The work of IG Life Cycle Construction is important to transform the construction industry and prepare it for the challenges of climate change. It shows that sustainability and innovation in construction can go hand in hand. You can find more information about this on the website www.derstandard.at.
