RessStadtQuartier – Instrumente für die ressourceneffiziente Entwicklung von Quartieren
2019/03/27
Neues Forschungsprojekt unter Beteiligung des IIB und zwei weiteren Fachgebieten des FB 13 gestartet
Der Gebäudebestand stellt das größte „Rohstofflager“ der Gesellschaft dar und hat gleichzeitig einen wesentlichen Anteil an der Nachfrage nach Energie. Beide Aspekte sind wichtige Handlungsfelder für die Erhöhung der Ressourceneffizienz im Gebäudesektor. Gleichzeitig unterliegen städtische Quartiere in Ballungsräumen heute einem vielfältigen Veränderungsdruck, mit dem eine steigende Dynamik von Planungsprozessen einhergeht.
