The construction industry is in the midst of a profound transformation: It should guarantee the highest quality standards and at the same time increase the efficiency of the work processes both internally and in the cooperation between the various trades. In addition, there is a demand for resource conservation and thinking in terms of material cycles. The ecoplus Green Building Cluster of Lower Austria connects players along the value chain of a construction project and thus bundles the potential and competencies available in Lower Austria.
The warming of the atmosphere requires two types of action: On the one hand, it is important to also minimize the emission of greenhouse gases in the construction industry. On the other hand, the construction must be adapted to the unavoidable consequences of climate change.
Technical developments that lead to the optimization of building construction are decisive factors for increasing competitiveness and resource efficiency. The Cluster provides a suitable cross-company, cross-trade and cross-material platform to achieve this.
The construction industry is challenged to make its processes more efficient. In addition to proven concepts such as “lean management” and “continuous improvement process”, digital technologies also open up new perspectives for increasing efficiency.
