#56 Building for tomorrow - Innovative approaches to sustainability and energy efficiency in the construction industry

Bernhard Metzger's podcast on BuiltSmart Hub takes a
comprehensive look at sustainable and energy-efficient
construction. He explains the need for sustainable practices in
the face of climate change and resource scarcity, presents
innovative building materials and processes such as timber
construction and 3D printing, describes relevant certification
systems (DGNB, LEED, BREEAM, Passive House) and details measures
to increase energy efficiency in construction projects. Finally,
challenges such as costs and the shortage of skilled labour are
addressed and future prospects such as the circular economy and
