On the Road towards a Sustainable Building Sector: The Importance of Digital Tools and Methods

Lucio Blandini’s lecture emphasises the importance of end-to-end digitalisation of the entire value chain in the building industry. The latter is one of the main drivers of climate change and resource depletion. Its productivity and quality control lag significantly behind other industry sectors. If building is to become more sustainable from an ecological, economic and functional perspective, the entire value chain must be digitalized. Only thus can we ensure that the information required for a targeted building operations, conversions and demolitions will be available in the future.
