| 3:00 pm | Panel discussion | Sustainability Beyond Buzzwords More than green claims – what architects really need to hear from manufacturers With sustainable buildings, a central aspect of planning and construction is selecting the right materials. But if you’re an architect or planner, how do you see through all the glossy brochures and work out which are the right building materials for your project? This panel discussion brings together the perspectives of manufacturers and architects. For the first time, we will also unveil the recently developed sustainability declaration for building products, which was developed as part of our Phase Sustainability initiative. Speakers:
Moderation: Dr Christine Lemaitre, DGNB |
| 4:00 pm | Presentation Role models of sustainability – learning from successful projects | Project: Eclipse Planning and constructing truly sustainable buildings always means balancing various priorities.

Hear the experiences of professionals managing projects that we consider genuinely pioneering in terms of sustainable building. As well as insights into planning decisions and the challenges of implementation, this is knowledge-sharing in action – in the true spirit of ‘let’s learn from one another’.

| 3:00 pm | Panel discussion | Sustainability Beyond Buzzwords The final challenge: red tape. How useful – in practice – are ‘Building Type E’, the QNG system and co? People often point to bureaucratic hurdles as the reason why some things simply don’t work in sustainable building. But what are the real obstacles when it comes to dealing with standards and regulations? In addition to this question, the panel will discuss how well the QNG label – an important aspect for funding – has been working in practice. Another focal topic: the much-discussed Building Type E and questions regarding its practical suitability. Speaker:

| 3:00 pm | Panel discussion | Sustainability Beyond Buzzwords Sustainable building – a reality check. Where does the industry stand, beyond the flagship initiatives of politicians? Much is said and written about the current status of sustainable, environmentally friendly building. While some would maintain things are not going well, the issue does seem to be gathering momentum. But to what extent has sustainability become mainstream? Is there a shift in terms of how architects see themselves? And what about the building trades? Coming from a variety of angles, the panel will discuss what has already been achieved, where there is still some catching up to do and which (new) levers it is time to pull. Speakers:

If specialist magazines and the media are anything to go by, the concept of circularity is now widespread in the construction industry. Is it really? Or is it still a principle only applied to flagship projects? The panel takes an honest look at the current status of circular building and discusses the challenges of implementing circular methods in practice. Speakers:

Free tours of the trade fair
It is already a tradition for the DGNB to offer free tours of the trade fair as part of BAU. Here you have the opportunity to experience and discuss building products and concepts in the field of sustainable building in a practical way. The tours start at the DGNB stand with a short presentation on the activities of the non-profit organisation. Participants then visit up to five exhibiting DGNB members, who present their product innovations related to sustainability and leave room for questions.
Each tour lasts around two and a half hours. As the number of participants is limited, registration is required. All those who register in advance will receive a free ticket to BAU from the DGNB for the relevant day of the trade fair. If there are any remaining places on one of the tours, it is also possible to register on site.
Please note: As the tours will be in German, please switch to German language settings to register.
