Design Day in Nouaceur: Together for sustainable building!

Cité des Métiers et des Compétences de Casablanca-Settat, Nouaceur, Marokko - What to do to reduce the CO2 footprint in construction? This question will be discussed in the first design day of the Nouceur Territorial Innovation Lab (notil) next Friday in the Cité des Métierte et des Compétences de Casablanca set. The main focus is on promoting sustainable building practices and strengthening the associated competencies. The event brings together actors from the ecological construction industry to exchange valuable impulses and learn how to minimize the effects on the environment.

The Design Day should not only enable the exchange of specialist knowledge and ideas, but also support the development of training programs in the field of ecological construction. In thematic workshops, experts, trainers, craftsmen, engineers and public decision -makers will work together to identify essential skills within the industry. Topics such as energy efficiency, waste management and low-tech innovation are at the top of the agenda. The aim is to find concrete solutions to reduce CO₂ emissions during construction and promote environmentally friendly materials.

sustainability in focus

In today's world, sustainability is an absolute must, especially in construction. The term "carbon footprint" or CO₂ footprint is of central importance. It includes the total emissions of greenhouse gases that occur throughout the entire life cycle of a building - from material extraction to transport to construction activity and energy consumption. In order to minimize the negative environmental impact of construction projects, green building practices are essential. This includes energy -efficient design, water savings and waste reduction.

A clear advantage of sustainable construction practices is the reduction in operating costs and the improvement of the interior air quality. This does not only make sense for environmental reasons; Real estate values ​​are also increasing and marketing environmentally friendly buildings is becoming more attractive. ** Sustainability pays off **, and by accepting the right methods, builders and developers can make a decisive contribution to creating a more environmentally conscious future.

CO₂ emissions in view

A current study by the German Society for Sustainable Building (DGNB) shows that about a third of the greenhouse gas emissions of a building were already created before use - during manufacture and construction. This underlines the need to plan more consciously when building new buildings and use sustainable materials. The average value of the CO₂ emissions of examined buildings is around 440 kg CO2E/m², which is below the reference value of the DGNB certification, but is still too high. In order to lower CO₂ emissions, construction methods and usage phases must be optimized.

This also includes that before a new building, it should be checked whether a renovation of existing buildings is sufficient to reduce emissions. Wood and wooden hybrid buildings often turn out to be particularly environmentally friendly here, but also offer solid and reinforced concrete buildings the opportunity to achieve good results if they are carefully planned.

The design day from notil is therefore an important step towards a more environmentally friendly construction industry, which not only focuses on reducing CO₂ emissions, but also on the creation of jobs and strengthening the regional economy. The exchange of traditional knowledge and innovative solutions could be the key to meet the challenges of the future in the construction industry.
