(Sustainable) construction is omnipresent at TU Graz: here at the growing Campus Inffeldgasse and in the interdisciplinary research center Graz Center of Sustainable Construction. Image source: Lunghammer - TU Graz By Christoph Pelzl - The Graz Center of Sustainable Construction was officially opened yesterday at TU Graz. Its goals are to rethink construction in its entirety, reduce environmental impacts and make the built environment climate neutral. The Graz Center of Sustainable Construction (GCSC) connects researchers from a total of 18 institutes, as co-founder and researcher at the Institute of Building Physics, Services and Construction Michael Monsberger explains: "We deal specifically and across all faculties with the built environment - in other words, all areas where people change and shape their environment in a structural way." This refers to all buildings used for living or working, as well as infrastructure such as tunnels, dams and roads. The research spectrum is broad and ranges from architecture and construction to materials management. The digitalization of the construction process and possibilities for a more sustainable use of resources are also on the agenda. The work at the GCSC is divided into five strategic fields of action: cities and regions, design and construction, materials and resources, digital processes and assessment methods for sustainable measures.
