Ausgabe zur BAU 2017

Ausg.Nr._01/2017 5 Bau 2017 16.–21.01. 2017 Bau 2017: A look into the future The special shows at BAU 2017 A s well as at the booths of the individual exhibi- tors, the key themes at BAU 2017 (Intelligent facades— Digital design, construction and management—Smart buildings— Living and Building 2020) will also be explored and explained in several special shows, from a range of different viewpoints and aspects. BAU is working closely with a number of high- profile partners in putting to- gether this program. Here´s an overview: Building 2020: From energy efficiency to product effective- ness In its special show at BAU 2016, the German Sustainable Build- ing Council (DGNB—Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) takes up the key theme of Living and Building 2020, look- ing in particular at integrated concepts and product efficiency. A new EU directive requires that all new buildings must conform to the Nearly Zero Energy Stand- ard. And that means energy effi- ciency throughout the production chain becomes a relevant sales argument also for manufactur- ers. Other sustainability aspects also come into focus, such as durability, amortization costs, recycling capability, convenience and a healthy environment. This special show sets out how such parameters can be consistently optimized. Fraunhofer StadtLabor / Fraunhofer CityLaboratory Buildings that respond to their users, that think in terms of energy efficiency and operate sustainability. Intelligent fa- cades that positively influence the indoor climate and at the same time generate energy. Cit- ies that do not produce either waste or sewage, thanks to a closed recycling and process- ing loop. These visions for the not-too-distant future will be presented at the special show “StadtLabor” by the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance. 14 Fraunhofer Institutes will show- case their latest R&D work on ur- ban centers and answer visitors’ questions about the future of our cities. The changing housing industry: Building for all generations Addressing the key theme of “Building and living 2020” the GGT Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gerontotechnik ® will again be presenting a model apartment suitable for all generations. The special show, entitled “The changing housing industry” is aimed in particular at the prop- erty sector. The basic idea is: More comfort for all phases of life and for all ages. Because a home designed to suit all generations not only provides a barrier-free environment, it also offers greater convenience and comfort for all users. As this high-quality presentation with its many product solutions shows, the demand can be met in both existing properties and in new-builds. Quality follows function Designing and constructing buildings and building compo- nents is becoming ever more complex and ever more detailed. No one building material or building element can suffice for all applications; there are many different demands for the dif- ferent functions. At this special show ift Rosenheim sets out its recommendations for the use of building components, in the context of their particular func- tion and the needs of the users. Examples include schools, care facilities, administration build- ings, security buildings, rental apartment blocks and the higher spec end of the housing market. The emphasis will be on present- ing and explaining “application- oriented construction quality” and its impacts on safety and costs.  Text & Image: Messe München GmbH Messegelände D-81823 München »Key Themes at BAU 2017: Intelligent facades—Digital design, construction and management—Smart buildings— Living and Building 2020«
