SCALE – Smart Cities Advanced Learning

In cooperation with the Spanish Universidad de Valladolid, the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld, Germany and experts from all three countries, the Institute of Construction Design and Economics of FH JOANNEUM is developing an online platform for Smart City topics using an interdisciplinary approach.

The choice of facade is particularly important during the planning process.

Taking a life cycle approach to facade systems

A facade determines both the appearance of a building as well as influencing a range of technical, economic and ecological factors. Consequently, the choice of facade is particularly important during the planning process.

ÖKOTOPIA

How do building development, energy consumption, mobility and the social environment of urban districts relate to and interact with each other? And what is their overall effect on the “sustainability performance” of a district? These questions were central to the interdisciplinary research project ÖKOTOPIA (Ecotopia), which developed an innovative model for the evaluation of urban development plans from a sustainability perspective.
