Workshop Transitions in Construction

The research group participated in an exchange workshop with the CIRUS working group at Eawag (the water research institute of the ETH domain). Sebastian Losacker introduced the TRABBI project and Christian Binz presented the project at Eawag. In addition, the research groups presented their main areas of work in the form of flash presentations and discussed conceptual and empirical approaches to addressing transition dynamics in the construction sector. This was followed by conceptual discussions, the identification of opportunities for joint research activities, and a tour of NEST, Empa and Eawag's modular building for research and innovation in construction and energy technologies.
