Strong clients - good buildings
Back to project overview
Research project to strengthen the client's role with standardized planning specifications and quality management processes
Project description
When the construction departments of public institutions are tasked with constructing new buildings, they are faced with greatly increased requirements. The technology is very complex and the market for specialist planners and contractors is becoming increasingly tight. At the same time, it is necessary to construct buildings as energy-efficiently as possible in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and counteract rising energy costs.
Complex requirements often lead to complicated, expensive planning processes. It is not uncommon for it to become apparent shortly after completion that the buildings do not function as the client had imagined.
The SIZ energieplus at the TU Braunschweig and the Climate Protection and Energy Agency of Lower Saxony have set up the "Strong builders - good buildings" project with funding from the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) and co-funding from enercity's proKlima fund. It provides public institutions with targeted support for their construction projects - from the planning stage through to operation. The aim is to strengthen the role of public building owners in the planning and construction process and to realize buildings more easily, quickly and economically.

The starting point for "Starke Bauherren - Gute Gebäude" was the results from the previous research project, in which a multipliable format for technical standard concepts and quality management processes was developed and tested. "System standards and quality management for nearly zero-energy buildings" was funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and enercity's proKlima fund.
