Living spaces of the future: digital - sustainable - smart

A special show by the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance at BAU 2019

Digitization, climate change, scarcity of resources and housing shortages - these trends call for society, business and research alike to change their ways. The construction industry also has to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to meet the constantly growing demands placed on buildings. It is becoming increasingly important to think in cross-industry terms and act via networks. The member institutes of the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance are working continuously on interdisciplinary solutions and systems to actively shape the "living spaces of the future". With its special show at BAU 2019, Hall C2, Booth 528, the Fraunhofer alliance will be presenting innovative products and system solutions from its construction research.

Four theme areas:

Digitization: the physical building and the digital twin

New sustainability: materials, recycling and energy efficiency

Smart living: user-friendly living

Smart cities and resilient quarters
