Accompanying
the presentations by the exhibitors at their booths, the key themes at BAU will
be covered and illustrated in forums and special shows – from a number of
different perspectives and aspects. In organizing this BAU is
working closely with highly regarded partners “Tomorrow Town—Intelligent
building for the cityof the future”
Urban
expansion and change will have a key influence on social developments in the
21st century, because it is in the cities that the battle foran ecologically
sustainable future will be taking place.
The
energy turnaround, a changing climate, urbanization, increasing pressure on
resources and demographic change are the big issues facing the future of our
urban environment.
Just what
robots, biogas, impulse fragmentation, “wellness glass” and mosses can
contribute technologically to the city of tomorrow, is to be presented in a
special show by the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance (Hall C2) at BAU 2013.
Thirty
intelligent product and system solutions will set out the contribution that
building research can make to a sustainable and future-capable “Tomorrow Town.”
The road towards the city of tomorrow is via “intelligent building.”
Sustainable
building products.
More
transparency promotes better decisions If you want to design and build
sustainably, you need the right products. More and more architects, designers
and building professionals are demanding transparent and reliable information
that will help the decision-making process and lead towards the desired certification.
In its special show on “Sustainable building products. More transparency
promotes better decisions,” the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council),
Sustainable Building Council), in cooperation with leading partners from the
building industry and building research, will be providing the answers.
Address
for the Future..!
Using
examples of completed and certified projects, the experts
will illustrate the relevance of building products for the construction,
operation and certification of sustainable buildings. It will also show specific
solutions that point out the effect of building products on building
performance and the certification result.
The DGNB’s online “Navigator” tool
delivers the necessary transparency. It provides, in simple and easy-to orient
form, all the data on building products that are relevant for designing
a
sustainable building—a useful tool in facilitating decisiondesign is a
challenge the building sector in general has to address for the future, and it is a
particular challenge for the manufacturers of building components.
Universal
design is a concept aimed at ensuring products
are designed and made so that they can be easily used by
the greatest number of people. Already whole segments
of
industry, e.g. manufacturers of mobile phones and motor vehicles,
are intensively engaged with this theme in their product development.
Trends
such as demographic change are bringing universal design into
the
spotlight in the building industry, too. In designing houses, rooms and
building components, it is ever more important to ensure that these are easy
to use and flexible. making.
In
cooperation with ift Rosenheim, BAU is organizing the
special show entitled “Universal Design.” Universal This special show
illustrates, using examples of products, what specific implications universal
design will have for building components like windows, doors and gates.
Manufacturers,
designers and investors can gather information
on criteria such as maximum usability and flexibility, as a means of assessing
how well products meet the requirements of universal design. The special show
takes place in Hall C4, on an area of around 200 square
meters.
Building
for life - Costeffective.
Flexible.
Barrier-free The special show, presented again by BAU in cooperation
with GGT
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gerontotechnik®, will demonstrate what “Building for
Life” means in practice and what it involves. This time the display will focus
on comfort. On around 200 square meters of space in Hall A4, fullscale,
multifunctional and flexible rooms, with a hotel character, will be set up, and
fitted out with products that appeal to young and old alike.
The modular concept used in this exhibit,
developed by specialists at GGT, is useful for apartments, student housing,
hotels, sheltered housing and homes for the elderly.
Guided
tours to the booths of the exhibitors are also being offered. The tours start
at the GGT booth, at the presentation of their show apartment in Hall A4.
