How can a sustainable turnaround in construction be achieved? This was recently investigated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO together with several associations and chambers of the real estate industry. They identified over 100 trends, which they summarized in three future scenarios. According to the IAO, the three scenarios are "#innovationiskey", "#greenregulation" and "#heritagefortomorrow".
Scenario 1, #innovationiskey, assumes that planning, execution and operation in the construction and real estate industry are closely interlinked, including through digital processes. In scenario 2, greenregulation, the construction and real estate industry is influenced by the regulations for achieving climate targets. In scenario 3, #heritagefortomorrow, the construction and real estate industry will return to regional forms of construction and ecosystems, among other things.
According to the IAO, it can generally be said that achieving the climate targets plays an overriding role in all three scenarios. In addition to the IAO, the research team includes the German Construction Industry Federation HDB, the Federal Chamber of Architects BAK, the Federal Chamber of Engineers BIngK, the German Engineering Federation VDMA, the German Property Federation ZIA and the German Construction Federation ZDB.
