The requirements in terms of sustainability and ecological construction are increasing.

Climate-neutral and environmentally friendly construction will become an even greater focus of the construction industry in the future; old concepts, ways of thinking and techniques will be put to the test. However, this change also involves challenges that need to be overcome.
