nako VGK – Administration building Carinthia - Sustainability coordination

Submitted by ElisabethL on Thu, 2012-04-26 12:14

Project goal

The goal is to initiate the consideration of aspects of sustainability  in the planning and construction process. These are for example the high social and ecological quality by low operating- and disposal costs, well-being in the workplace, increased resale value of the building, lower renovation costs and elevated environmental protection, especially the use of renewable resources, the regional efficiency and energy optimization. A checklist was created, which shows the possibility how to integrate these aspects of sustainability in the construction process without treating the implementation of these points. As a further basis for decisions for the planning team substantial constructions were evaluated and suggestions of research- and development work of the relevant scientific literatur derived, which lead to a sustainable improvement of the tested components.
