Replacement construction 2.0
New replacement construction has been used for many years in the renovation of old buildings, although it has recently suffered from systematic defamation. The advantages of new replacement construction are numerous, including the ability to build to the latest energy standards, take better account of the needs of the population and increase living space.
On the other hand, refurbishment also has both advantages and disadvantages. The "Replacement building 2.0" project aims to prevent and correct systematic defamation. It also shows that both new replacement construction and refurbishment are measures that can coexist and that, depending on the building, a case-specific factual analysis must be carried out.
Expert survey " Stock and replacement - under what conditions?"
The Green Building Association initiated a broad expert survey aimed at owners, developers, the construction industry and specialist planners/service providers. The respondents cover a wide range of companies from small to large and represent all Swiss regions.
The aim and purpose of the survey was to create a sound basis for discussion and to promote the exchange of knowledge in the industry. The survey examined strategies used by the construction and real estate industry to respond to current challenges and social expectations.
