with the sociologist Patrick Sachweh
"Everything feels more and more unequal - but people still don't want more redistribution. Sociologist Patrick Sachweh knows why."
in the Süddeutsche Zeitung from 10.9.2016
As part of Expo Real 2019, experts from the timber construction industry came together for the kick-off event of the Holzbau München network. Organiser Andreas Lerge, Managing Director of Wood Real Estate, opened the evening and welcomed his guests with the topics of digitalisation and professionalisation in timber construction. Larger timber construction projects are currently still underrepresented in German cities, but the general demand for living space in Munich will increase by around 250,000 flats by 2025. Reason enough to make urban timber construction the standard through serial construction and industrial prefabrication. The advantages are obvious: systemised construction reduces construction costs, only a few skilled workers are needed on site to assemble prefabricated modules, construction time and noise and traffic pollution are reduced.
Wood is so stable that it can be used to build high-rise buildings and at the same time unrivalled in its lightness that it can be used to add storeys to existing buildings. Another contribution to active climate protection is refurbishment and modernisation with wood, a renewable resource that is more than sufficient. In total, 18 million tonnes of CO2 can be bound in Bavaria alone. Alexander Gumpp, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of proHolz Bayern, believes it is imperative that a life cycle assessment and compliance with emissions limits are a mandatory component of construction projects. An ecological model housing estate is currently being built in Munich: the Prince Eugene Park. An exemplary urban timber construction that creates plenty of living space for many generations. We are committed to a sustainable forestry and timber industry in Bavaria in order to realise more timber construction projects so that we can call Munich a "timber construction city" by 2030.

With the architect Amandus Samsøe Sattler, the German Sustainable Building Council - DGNB e.V. has a new president. He succeeds Prof. Alexander Rudolphi, who will continue his work on the association's executive committee. The change was announced today during the DGNB Sustainability Day in Stuttgart. The election was held on the eve of the event by the ten members of the DGNB Executive Committee. Samsøe Sattler will initially take over the office until the next DGNB general meeting in the middle of next year.
"I am very pleased about the trust placed in me," says Amandus Samsøe Sattler, who has been volunteering as part of the DGNB Executive Committee since 2015. Many developments in recent years, such as the launch of the "Phase Sustainability" initiative, have made the new representative function within the DGNB even more interesting for him, says Samsøe Sattler. Therefore, there will be no fundamental change of course with him as president - on the contrary. "I consider the cooperation with the DGNB office to be very valuable and would like to continue the path the DGNB has taken in recent years." He sees a central task for himself in introducing the topics of sustainability even more strongly to architects, engineers and building owners from the real estate industry.
"We work hand in hand as a team on the board of the DGNB," explains the founder and managing director of the Munich office Allmann Sattler Wappner Architekten. "This will also be the case in the future, except that I will additionally represent our board even more strongly in the future." He is pleased that Alexander Rudolphi will continue to contribute his extensive experience to the DGNB.
Prof. Alexander Rudolphi remains active in the DGNB Executive Committee
Prof. Alexander Rudolphi had held the post as DGNB president for a total of eight years - as founding president in the first year of the association in 2007 and in the last seven years since 2013. "The DGNB has been on a very good path for many years. The core requirements of the assessment and certification system are more correct and up-to-date today than ever before," explains Rudolphi. "At the same time, I am increasingly impatient that the necessary progress is not being made fast enough politically and in the market. Here I would like to work even harder for our common goals in the future. For this I would like more freedom - both in terms of time and content. With Amandus Samsøe Sattler, I know that the office is in the very best hands." In the future, the civil engineer wants to work especially in the political arena in Berlin and for a stronger regional spread of the DGNB in the north-east of Germany.
In addition to Amandus Samsøe Sattler and Prof. Alexander Rudolphi (Rudolphi + Rudolphi), other members include Barbara Ettinger-Brinckmann (Bundearchitektenkammer), Martin Haas (haascookzemmrich - STUDIO 2050), Hermann Horster (BNP Paribas Real Estate), Prof. Anett-Maud Joppien (TU Darmstadt), Prof. Dr.- Ing.Ing. Anke Karmann-Woessner (City of Karlsruhe), Dr.-Ing. Peter Mösle (Drees & Sommer), Prof. Matthias Rudolph (Transsolar) and Prof. Josef Steretzeder (Lindner) to the DGNB Executive Committee.
Various key topics are on the DGNB's agenda for the coming months. For example, cooperation with municipalities in the area of sustainability and climate protection will be intensified as part of a new initiative. The topic of digitalisation will also play a central role at the DGNB in the next six months. In addition, the activities already initiated at the beginning of the year concerning climate-positive buildings - not only in new buildings, but also in existing buildings - will be further intensified.
