FutureMissionBuilding - affordable.sustainable.safe - innovation impulses for a necessary transformation

The special show of the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance presents innovations in three important transformation areas of construction: Affordability with a view to an urgent increase in productivity based on innovative solutions, productivity gains from digitalization and AI as well as sufficiency in the sense of a building type “E”. CO2-negative processes and building materials of a carbon capture usability strategy as well as energy-positive buildings, districts and cities are the focus of the sustainability exhibits presented. We interpret safety in terms of resilience to climate change with answers to the question of how we can protect our buildings against flooding, heat and extreme weather and at the same time transform the economy into a circular economy through innovative processes and product designs.
