a green city, f.i. bosco verticale
What are sustainable strategies?
- Consistency
- Efficiency
- Sufficiency
Consistency focuses on green technologies, that use the ecosystems without destroying them.
-> Developers of sustainable residential and office buildings are currently researching models which take all three strategies into account adequately.
Densification: What factors are important, especially in compacted forms of living?
- ample living space (grosszügiger Lebensraum)
- private outdoor areas
- privacy
- security
Why was the multi-family-house located in Eschenbach (LU) so successfull?
- point house with staggered apartments
- four residential parties
- minimal visibility into private outdoor areas such as gardens and roof gardens
Difference between point house, long house and row house?
Layout:
Point House: Compact, standalone.
Long House: Elongated structure, historically communal or for specific purposes.
Row House: Repeated units forming a continuous row, sharing walls.
Usage:
Point House: Suitable for single-family living with space around.
Long House: Historically communal; modern versions are more linear single-family homes.
Row House: Dense urban housing for efficient land use.
Cultural/Historical Context:
Point House: Modern, adaptable designs.
Long House: Deep historical roots in communal living traditions.
Row House: Historic urban development for maximizing housing.
A mental change in the housing and real estate market is needed urgently: What is the problem?
The current real estate market is not flexible. Our goal should be to provide high-quality homes that last a lifetime while being infintely customizable and recyclable.
How will we live, work and play in 20 years? What are the key megatrends that influence urban development? (5)
- Demographic changes (increasing average age of population, migration flows)
- Individualisation and flexibility (pluralistic lifestyles (vielfältiger Lebensstil) and household forms, increased demand for self-determination, more divorced and single people, smaller families)
- Connectivity (efficient means of communication facilitate the exchange of information between people.
- Automation of work processes (more free time)
- Big data (countless traces of human behavior, can be used to forecast and optimize passersby streams)
What does social change of values mean?
- change in living culture not only technology
- loosening of traditional moral concepts
- scarcity of space
- = variety of new forms of living is emerging
spectrum ranges from multi-generational households to high-tech single apartments
On what does the development of office depend on?
- social developments
- development of the workers
- development of the work and the working technique
How many Swiss employees work in offices?
What is the average office space per employee in Europe/ Switzerland?
How many total gross floor office space do we have in CH?
How many vacant office space in CH?
turnover in Swiss construction?
- 2/3 Swiss employees work in offices
- 12.4 m2 in Europe / 15m2 in CH
- 52 million m2 gross floor office
- 3% vacant (2016)
- turnover: CHF 18 - 19 billion a year (55% goes into construction of buildings)
Compactness vs. solar gain: Minergie vs. Passiv-Solar
- courtyard types (Innenhof) max favor alternative to Minergie-P buildings -> preferably Minergie-A
- Compact buildings with low room depts = good use of daylight
- basically, the current building codes and Minergie today still promote a compact construction
- the importance of lighting energy also shows that overly compact buildings are increasingly inefficient overall
- Consequently it is possible to realize a building with a comparatively poorly insulated building shell, yet still achieving a very low primary energy requirement thanks to efficient building technology
What are regulations in Swiss residential building code?
- Orientation of living rooms (Ausrichtung)
- compliance with noise limits
- disability-friendly construction
- lightning condition
- energy consumption (35W/m2)
What are regulations in Swiss office building code?
- compliance with radiation limits (Strahlungsgrenzwerte)
- ventilation and cooling
- escape routes
What are risks for developers and Investors in Standard Real Estate?
Residential
- planning without target groups resp. end user
- A Location: low risks, low returns (Zurich, Zug, Geneva)
- B Location: danger of overcapacity (less immigration / overstocking due to low interest rates, which make property seem attractive) - eastern CH, Mittelland, AG
- C Location: no market potential
Office
- volatile market, even in good location (depending on the economic cycle)
- high yield opportunities lead to overproduction
What are mega trends (and consequences) for standard real estate?
- relocation of jobs abroad
- influx (Zufluss) of well-trained employees
- optimization of work processes
- Home Office as a result of the electronic possibilities of new life models and mobility problems
- social changes: fewer and fewer classical familites, but more and more singles, single parents and cluster families
-> growing prosperity (Wohlstand) - growing demands
-> increase in mobility - migratory movements
-> Counter trend of the 2000-Watt Society
-> Sharing economy
Sustainable standard real estate: Why do we have a high profitability?
high profitability thanks to…
… the flexibility of the building structure
… crisis-resistant user mix
… new technologies
… new materials
What are examples for sustainable standard real estate?
- 2000-Watt Society: The Future is Urban (jeder Mensch verbraucht pro Jahr 2000 Watt, damit nachhaltige Entwicklung gewährleistet bleibt -> Hauptsächlich Fokus auf Verkehr, da Annahme, dass Gebäude effizienter werden)
- Urban Future - City of short distances (besser durchmischte Quartiere)
Sustainable Standard real estate: What are conculsions to be sustainable?
- we have to improve the quality of living in the city
- urban living must be desirable
- living and working must come together again
- understanding virtual work as an opportunity
Need for action in outdated basic conditions:
- companies and public authorities must rethink their current position
- societal, economic and political condition must be adapted to the age of longevity
- more flexibilization of working models
- educational concept that facilitate lifelong learning
- regular time-off and part-time work
How does the office of the future look like?
- offices that create an environment that inspires and let employees work creatiely
- coworking spaces
- better work-life-balance through that
- get people moving again -> walking is the new driving
- aspect of sustainability will continue to gain importance
