DERIX Group invites you to the study day "Modern timber construction in historic Amsterdam" on 26.10.2017. The event will take place in the new ABN AMRO Pavilion in Amsterdam, in the construction of which DERIX Group was involved.
In co-operation with the Dutch Houtblad, architects and planners from the Netherlands will gain vivid and exciting insights into modern timber construction on the basis of current major projects and will be comprehensively informed about the special features of glulam and X-LAM as future-oriented building materials.
In the second part of the study day, excursions to the previously discussed construction projects will take place: Here, the participants will visit the nine-storey "Jakarta" hotel, which is made up of X-LAM modules, and the "De 7 Deugden" brewery, which was also built entirely from X-LAM. A total of 200m³ of X-LAM was used for the wall, ceiling and roof elements.
In addition to specialist information and excursions, the study day offers a good opportunity to expand your own network. Get into dialogue with other architects and planners and benefit from a stimulating exchange with your colleagues.
The number of participants is limited to 100 people. Secure your participation and register by 01 October 2017:

Video report about the car-free settlement Florisdorf in Vienna.
Content: For 16 years there has been a car-free settlement in the 21st district. Instead of parking spaces, communal areas dominate. The residents are still enthusiastic - but for some of them, the sloppiness has set in.

Bonn/Brussels. The development and environmental organisation Germanwatch welcomes the adoption of the European Investment Bank's new energy directive as an "important signal for the entire financial market". It stipulates the phase-out of financing fossil fuel projects by the end of 2021. The phase-out was also achieved thanks to a joint approach by the previously conflicting federal ministries.
"This decision sends an important signal to other development banks and the entire financial market. Financing fossil fuel projects that are not compatible with the Paris climate goals will become much more difficult overall," says Christoph Bals, Political Director of Germanwatch. He welcomes the fact that the environment and finance ministries have overcome the blockade by the economics ministry and, after weeks of disagreement, have finally agreed to the phase-out. "Fortunately, the German government managed at the last minute to avoid being seen as a blocker on climate protection at EU level this time."
As a member of the German government's Sustainable Finance Advisory Council, Bals is hoping that the council will present concrete recommendations in spring 2020 that will make Germany a leading location for sustainable finance and that are compatible with the Paris climate goals.
The Investment Bank's decision allows for exemptions to promote particularly energy-efficient gas-fired power plants beyond 2021. However, this is subject to the condition that credible plans are submitted for the subsequent primary use of climate-friendly renewable gases and that the specified emission caps are not exceeded. Germanwatch emphasises that this rule must now be made watertight. The exception must not become a major loophole.
