BauZ! Vienna Congress on Sustainable Building

BauZ! Vienna Congress on Sustainable Building

BauZ! 2021, the 18th Vienna Congress for Sustainable Building, is accompanying the industry’s fresh start in 2021. Subsequent to the Advantage Austria B2B matchmaking event “Future of Building”, on two days, forward-looking solutions and concepts will be presented and discussions with a domestic and international audience will be held..

We are calling for contributions: your contribution can either be the presentation of a construction project or a (completed) piece of research. Digitization, BIM, and prefabrication may play a role in the contribution, yet the main focus should be on one of the following topics :

1. Livable neighborhoods

What is a neighborhood? It is the area that you can cover on foot, in which you will – in the corresponding range of movement – hopefully find a stop of a means of transport running frequently. Such an area is home to several thousands up to several ten thousands of inhabitants and is referred to as a “Grätzl” in Vienna. [...] 

Three topics

  1. Free space, greenery, a place based on rules, a place rife with possibilities
  2. Traffic in shared space
  3. Living and working, ground floors, neighborhood development, temporary use

2. Plus-energy neighborhoods

Climate-conscious neighborhoods are plus-energy neighborhoods. By 2025, the EU intends to have implemented at minimum 100 plus-energy neighborhoods (Positive Energy Districts). [...]

Three topics

  1. CO2-neutral neighborhoods
  2. Energy-flexible neighborhoods
  3. Business models, tariff models, ownership

3. Low-tech principles and choice of materials for new construction and refurbishment in the neighborhood

Climate-conscious, CO2-neutral and energy-flexible buildings are constructed and operated according to low-tech principles. This means that straightforward solutions are sought after. [...] 

Three topics:

  1. Low-tech principles: architecture, constructions, choice of materials
  2. Refurbishments involving several buildings: how?
  3. In operation: low-tech and user comfort. Is my building self-regulating?

COVID 19: We hope to make BauZ! 21 a real-presence event but prepare at the same time for an online event.
