How can new smart building designs drive a better process optimisation and increase CO2 savings beyond existing regulations & material categories ?
SHORT DESCRIPTION
In Switzerland eco-efficiency calculation services (structures) are extremely costly in terms of human resources and time - there is a big need
for automated processes.
Processes are not implemented in design software; there is no feedback loop to facilitate the selection of design variants with improved carbon footprint.
We miss innovation regarding CO2 optimization. Technically we should be thinking outside of the usual standards, and should strengthen the knowledge base on composite materials, new materials (3D-Printing) and modular building.
With this challenge we can improve awareness of designers for alternative solutions.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Smart building & innovative construction
Engineering background
Digitalist
Capability to bring new standard in the swiss standards/legislation
