"Building under changing conditions" was the focus of the 6th Swiss Building Forum on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, at the Suurstoffi in Rotkreuz. 100 construction and real estate experts exchanged views on the most pressing issues for construction in times of climate change. Climate change is changing the conditions under which buildings are constructed; sustainability is in demand in all areas and dimensions. This brings new topics to the fore for planners, real estate experts and architects: compact construction with sustainable materials, moving away from fossil fuels, greening roofs, façades and areas to reduce heat or retaining rainwater (keyword "sponge city"), to name just a few. "We need to rethink!", demanded architect Katrin Pfäffli from preisig:pfäffli. Speakers and participants at the 6th Swiss Building Forum agreed on this. Katrin Pfäffli presented the three main ways to get closer to net zero in construction: building less, building right and keeping what has already been built in the cycle for as long as possible.
