The construction, heating, cooling and destruction of our buildings is responsible for an enormous amount of CO2 emissions. How can the transformation succeed — and what do the sustainable digital solutions look like?
Climate-adaptive windows with a heat-repellent coating offer a means of cooling buildings without the need for additional energy consumption.
The construction, heating, cooling and disposal of our buildings accounts for around 40 percent of Germany's CO2 emissions. How can the transformation succeed and what do sustainable digital solutions look like? This is the subject of our latest RESET Greenbook.
What if we could upcycle agricultural waste into a cheap, sustainable and biodegradable building material? Mycelium shows it's possible.
Extreme weather conditions such as drought and heavy rain are becoming more frequent and are likely to increase even more in the future — but what is the best way to deal with them?
Solar power, heat pumps and waste heat - renewable energies are readily available. The former Pfaff factory site is being used to test what the climate-neutral neighbourhood of the future will look like.
A new type of "green wall" with a modular, simple to install design, a fully automatic irrigation system and much more - this is the result of a new European research project, and a promising step forward in much-needed urban adaptation to the challenges of climate change.
