Building material ecology

Building product management

Choosing building products with care improves the quality of indoor air, scores points in building evaluations and reduces the use of pollutants. There are lots of details to considered – a structured process makes everyone's work easier. Through the building product management system, we provide assistance in the selection of healthy and environmentally compatible building materials from the planning phase onwards.

  • Agreement on the applicable criteria
  • Establishing the criteria used in tendering and contracting
  • Initial discussion with planners and builders
  • Site inductions with contractors
  • Approvals and optimisations for building products with the individual trades
  • Site visits for random checks
  • Final indoor air measuring
  • Written documentation

We offer building product management for all building certificates: klimaaktiv, IBO ÖKOPASS, ÖGNB, ÖGNI, BREEAM, LEED. As well as for public buildings, for new constructions and renovations alike.

In the Seestadt Aspern, a few places were made available for subassemblies - the JAspern subassembly carried out a cohousing project for 18 residential units. It is one of the first participative residential building projects to be realised in the Seestadt Aspern, which is characterised by the highest energy standard (passive house level), special user comfort, an innovative socio-cultural approach to living in community and an all-round successful overall building ecology concept. The point-supported ceiling, façade grid and room heights of 2.8 m provide a high degree of flexibility in use (with regard to type of use, apartment and room sizes). The qualities of urban ecology are addressed by urban gardening and intensively greened roof areas. JAspern was also one of the first projects on the basis of which the quality assurance tool monitor aspern seestadt was tested and evaluated.
