Building for the future: Is the IG life cycle building 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 construction to become more sustainable. Since its foundation in 2012, the IG Life Cycle Bau has been dealing intensively with the question of how building the future should be designed. This organization now has over 90 companies and institutions from the Austrian construction and real estate industry.

The vision of the IG life cycle construction extends beyond the conventional construction methods. Their goal is to promote sustainable and innovative approaches that take into account the life cycle of buildings. By integrating environmental aspects, energy efficiency and economic aspects, the organization strives to establish a forward -looking building culture.

The focus is on stacking buildings vertically in order to deal with resources more efficiently and save space at the same time. This method is reminiscent of the layers of a delicious nougat in which each layer is part of the larger whole. Vertical stacking can be realized innovative architectural concepts that make both ecologically and economically useful

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