Marketplace Demand and Consumer awareness for change.

This goes back to economics of supply and demand. How to get consumers aware enough of the issues to stimulate the demand for sustainable solutions?

Are regulations sometimes the barrier to innovation, e.g. in materials, design, and practices in the built environment? How can building codes allow for exceptions in novel solutions?

# data[].attributes.body
people don't think about consequences, go about "fingers crossed"
> awareness of the environmental issues is now present, but doesn't manifest into actions
> solution: less humans?!

selfish dogma > neo-liberal economy emphasising
> lack of collective
> hope in younger people
> lot of tearing down before using the existing building stock
> solution: collective thinking?

social ecology & build.materials:
> building materials towards renewals in Germany
> in the level of policy makers ok
> But how to emphasise the shift towards renewable construction materials in practice?
> developers in competition
>>Hard to adopt social-ecological issues
> Solutions: Carbon Taxing?
>> Effect on consumer-prices?
>> incentives, instead of "aggressive" taxing?
> but their the effectiveness in long term?
>> change of behaviour

Energy & carbon use > existing built env. badly insulated (in Britan)
> cases exist with quality, regular housing with incorporated energy "production", solar etc getting better on efficiency

A lot of projects claim to be sustainable, but there is no holistic approach and usually it is just one or two things. In the worst case they just wrap up concrete buildings with wooden cladding and claim it's sustainable.

Also sustainability must be made easy, because a lot of times people lack the motivation.

# data[].attributes.body
Projects locally and globally receiving recognition of 'architecture excellence' which do not have matching climate and environmental credentials. THIS IS SHAMEFUL IN THIS DAY AND AGE!

Instead of talk, we need action, for example promoting e-bikes, tree-planting, using less energy.

The idea that the changes needed are seen as sacrifice (of the taken for granted) luxuries of modern life. This vision is false and needs to be culturally addressed through positive visioning of this new future for public buy in.

How can we promote using the existing buildings instead of building new ones, for the architects that are trained to design in the first place?

No tax on insulation (and works to install) which is carbon neutral; increasing tax on materials which are carbon producers.

- We as human beings, cannot accept a fundamental change in our lives and expectations for a greater quality but we can accept things that come gradually and partially, just like our containment during pandemics which provided nature a possibility to flourish.

As architects, engineers and many more, as responsible professionals in this field, we have a position that enables making big changes. It doesn’t really matter what a person does or prefers in his/her personal life, if he/she can apply sustainable changes to a building, it will make a difference.

Conflict of climate emergency and wellbeing of residents: 

# data[].attributes.body
Many old buildings have problems with indoor air quality, moisture and similar problems which cannot always be fixed not matter the upgrades. What do we do in order to stabilize the capacity of old buildings versus the quality of life the people demand? In order to extend the service life of existing places, do we convince people to settle with less qualitative places? Nature will find a way to balance itself eventually, but with or without humans? Can we accept lower standards of buildings so we could mitigate effectively the negative impacts of climate and construction?

Our breakout room considered one of the biggest barriers lack of education of people from young age and at grassroot levels and also maintaining this education. Another barrier we discussed was lack of commitment on all levels from personal to political and corporate.

# data[].attributes.body
We should start educating people from young age and maintain this education. The power lays in people to demand change in the hierarchy. However, laying all the responsibility to consumers doesn’t seem quite fair and the demand for change should also happen on political level and in the public and private sectors.

Ton's of knowledge, initiatives, facts and proofs in standardized, commonly accepted rules and format is available, by material producers. Actually "green washing" is punishable action under competition laws, so no one should go on that... But what you read as "a valid LCA impacts" might not be EN15804 complying document? Pls engage more material producers etc.
