| Abstract |
Our social responsibility towards our environment requires a fundamental rethinking in the construction industry. The construction methods so far have played a large part in ecological damage, such as pollution, loss of biodiversity and climate change. Environmentally compatible construction can be achieved by consequently adhering to efficient, consistent and sufficient construction methods. Building efficiently means saving resources and energy. Building consistently means building with environmentally compatible building products from renewable resources and in a circular economy. The dismantling of components and parts is essential for reusability. To build sufficiently means to forego resources through the intelligent use of buildings. Environmentally friendly construction is essentially waste avoidance through circular added value and thus the unbundling of growth and resource consumption. The implementation in building practice can only be achieved through the consistent cooperation of all those involved in the construction. The general conditions for this are to be specified by politics. Scientific research and economic developments of standardized, catalogued connections, building elements and components are essential for the success of waste prevention. On the basis of structural timber construction, the circular added value in the building industry is presented. |
