Review of the 14th IG Lebenszyklus Bau Congress with Trend Report & Guidelines

The 14th Congress of IG Lebenszyklus Bau, themed “Future Habitat: Concepts for Buildings & Spaces in the Context of Climate Change”, took place on November 11 at the WEST (former WU Vienna building). The event made it clear just how urgent the challenges of climate change are for our industry. Despite some sobering perspectives, one key message stood out:

We can take action to counteract climate change!

Wolfgang Kradischnig, a board member of IG Lebenszyklus Bau, attended the event and highly recommends the current Trend Report—a publication that is both visually and content-wise engaging—as well as three additional guides. These publications provide valuable support for clients and industry participants in implementing innovative concepts in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, European Standards for Sustainability Reporting (ESRS), and Circular Economy in the Building Sector. All publications, along with a congress report and photo gallery, are available here: Link to Congress Report and Gallery.

With the release of the 2024 Trend Report “Report from the Future”—an updated edition of the original 2022 Trend Report—IG Lebenszyklus Bau has summarized the key trends and phenomena in the sustainable construction in a compact and constructive way and real estate industry in nine main points. This report provides insights into the industry’s “homework” for the near future.
