Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the case of fast developing megacities of emerging countries, an integrated concept for the assessment of SUD, including the social and cultural dimensions comprehensively, is of particular need: Megacities are locations of polarization of people. Different cultural, social and income groups live closely together, thus opening an area of conflict. However, for the aspect of social sustainability, a theoretically stringent, systematic and comprehensive rationale which is translated into practical application does not yet exist.The aim of the paper is to shed light on theories within the social and cultural dimensions of the sustainability assessment, on the specific socio-cultural challenges in megacities and on existing indicator systems possibly applicable in those megacities. Based on existing studies and expert interviews of local stakeholders, specific requirements for the assessment of the social and cultural dimensions are formulated for the emerging megacity Hyderabad (India). Following this analysis, both the gaps in research and practice as well as challenges and responses are pointed out.

Sustainability indicators for the built environment - the challenges ahead

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Methods and tools including sustainable development indicators (SDIs) are important aids to the implementation of sustainable development in the construction industry. Through a qualitative analysis, a variety of methods which are widely used internationally can be assessed to establish their compliance with the general requirements of sustainable development. This paper looks at five fundamental criteria: holism, lifecycle assessment, directional certainty, traceability/transparency and local suitability. Most methods more or less meet these requirements, in which users play a central role in compliance. This paper identifies a number of remaining knowledge deficits: the recording and analysis of sociocultural indicators, additional environmental indicators such as land use, resource intensity, interior quality and usability, and a more detailed understanding of building usage and decommissioning costs. In addition to these knowledge deficits, and for a variety of reasons, there is also an implementation deficit: the practice of sustainable construction is lagging far behind the theory.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A sustainable development can be described as the search of society for today’s suitable arrangements, which enable a long-term justifiable balance between economical and social interests as well as ecological basic conditions.The building-industry is responsible for 40% of the global energy consumption and adds 1/3 to the anthropogenic CO2-emissions. Therefore it offers a large potential for optimisation.The increase in energy-prices during the past few years due to the growing demand enhanced the search for optimised use of energy in buildings. On the one hand one has to take in account the energy-efficiency and on the other hand the use of efficient materials as well as the automation of the building process. To judge the sustainability of a building one should consider its whole life cycle, i.e. to regard life-span, conversion, maintenance, deconstruction and energetic performance of the building, incl. the overall raw materials production.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Die Herausforderungen für das Bauen im 21. Jahrhundert sind sehr umfassend. Sicherlich sind diese Herausforderungen lokal sehr unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägt und auch die Fähigkeit darauf zu reagieren, aber generell stehen wir nahezu überall vor den gleichen Problemen für die wir Lösungen zu erarbeiten haben. Die zu beobachtenden globalen (Mega-)Trends und Herausforderungen umfassen u.a. die sich abzeichnende weitere Verknappung fossiler Energieträger, aber auch anderer natürlicher Rohstoffe, einem kontinuierlichen Trend der Urbanisierung, dem demografischen Wandel, einer veränderten Wohnnachfrage etc. Vor dem Hintergrund einer nachhaltigen Enwticklung im Bauwesen werden nun verschiedene Instrumente und Konzepte entwickelt und implementiert, die einen Lösungsbeitrag liefern sollen. Das nachfolgende Referat widmet sich insbesondere den Fragen, welchen Beitrag der Holzbau für das nachhaltige Bauen leisten kann und wie Investoren dem Entscheid für ein Gebäude aus Holz gegenüberstehen? In den Schlussbemerkungen werden aus Sicht des Referenten Optimierungspotenziale für den Holzbau aufgezeigt.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The environmental pollution could be reduced noticeably in the last two decades, especially through technical measures. The reports on progress both of the European Unionand of the individual national governments moreover show a positive image of the productivity of resources development. With about one third of all direct and indirectmaterial flows the building sector still contributes a great deal to the national consumption of resources in almost all European countries. In the area of the energy efficiency results have been achieved, whereas those results are not yet visible in the building sector. Onereason is due to the fact that we hardly feel the “material-backpack” of 50 tons per year for each citizen, as a good deal of this weight shows up in other places (e.g. imported goods) or in the world at large (e.g. exhaust fumes). A comprehensive analysis of the whole German housing sector according to building types and construction age groups reveals hat little progress has been achieved in Germany in the last century with regard to the use of resources. The investigation shows that the analyzed buildings are responsible for a consumption of approximately 4 to 6 tons of resources per square meter of the main constructed area. Although a building has a comparatively long life expectancy, this consumption will in the long run lead to supply problems of building materials. The challenge for the building sector of the 21st century therefore consists in drastically improving material efficiencies.

Sustainable lans use: Approaches for an internal development of natural, semi-natural and urban landscapes

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Our built environments drive human, organisational and regional productivity and contribute to the national economy. During the last decades the development of our surroundings has led to a worldwide phenomenon that has often been associated with prosperity and quality of life: urban sprawl. But what is the price we have to pay for it? The impacts of urban sprawl to our Natural Capital and to the dimensions of sustainability (integrative perspective, intragenerational and intergenerational equity) are significant.There is growing recognition that internal prior to external development of our built environments is an appropriate strategy to encounter a further increase of land use. In this regard, important questions emerge in three main fields. Land use: How did the landscape as well as its use evolve? How will it develop in future? Driving forces: What are the driving forces of urban development? Which stakeholders are involved? Approaches: What kind of planning and regulation approaches are adequate to slow up or even stop the trend of land use? How well are these instruments known by the planning authorities?For the case of Switzerland, the paper will analyse and discuss today’s situations for these three fields. It will demonstrate that efforts on several levels are needed in order to reach a sustainable land use and that there are ways to face the continuous settlement expansion. However, a Swiss-wide survey amongst selected municipal and cantonal planners revealed that there is an insufficient awareness and implementation of both already existing and innovative instruments.
