Sustainable construction

THE DIFFERENCE STARTS AT THE SOURCE

Sustainable buildings aren’t likely to be demolished in a hurry. As the years go by, the continue to meet the demands of their users, can take on new functions, offer attractive building volumes and continue to fascinate aesthetically. From the design phase onwards, a clear choice has been made to use sustainable materials and stimulate energy-efficiency by applying clean sources of energy and water-efficient measures. The design phase has also taken into account the reuse of materials after demolition. Thanks to intelligent building and electrical engineering concepts, savings of up to 50% can be achieved in terms of energy and water usage. In many cases, sustainable buildings offer unique multi-usage and are designed to blend into their environment. Sustainable construction clearly pays off. The initial investment may be slightly higher in comparison with conventional construction, but attractive subsidies and fiscal incentives compensate the difference in construction costs. Factor in the significant long-term savings in terms of energy costs, and the advantages of sustainable construction are undeniable.
