Impulse: Sustainable Buildings am 01.12.2016
Opportunities for SMEs in Canada and North America
Canada has positioned itself amongst those markets at the forefront of the sustainable building sector. Amongst other measures, the Government of Canada will invest 50 million to improve climate resilience in building and infrastructures codes across the country. These are key measures that are driving the potential for change, creating opportunities for those businesses active in construction and renovation.
Canada is creating demand, Switzerland has something to offer: from traditional Swiss chalets to modern individual houses to entire apartment blocks; from schools to medical centers and from sports halls to offices, Switzerland has one of the strongest experience- and know-how pool regarding sustainable construction, be it in design, architecture or actual construction processes. On the other hand Canada can boast a worldwide availability of high quality wood and experiences at the same time the aforementioned trend towards higher wooden buildings. And with this, the use of wood for retrofitting will materialize quickly – and alongside it an interest for European design know-how and experience - the case for sustainability has never been stronger. The needs for renovation and drive for sustainability go beyond the construction market and call for integrated solutions including all the components of a modern structure – here again Swiss companies have a leading role to play with new and smart solutions.
