Abstract: |
The trend to sustainable construction in the building sector has greatly increased in recent years. In certain segments of the market (e.g. office and retail properties), building certificates are essential marketing aids and are having an increasing effect on competition, with questions of energy efficiency and interior air quality being of particular significance. A comprehensive series of European standards is now available, which also include a harmonised assessment concept. In infrastructure construction, this development has mostly been reflected in the estimation of lifecycle costs, durability and maintenance costs in bridge building and the recycling of material excavated from tunnels. |
