"The importance of terms of the construction sector means the transition from unknown to nite. Popular hotels in Green buildings Baumgart, which makes today’s frequency definition become the standard of tomorrow, is not a thread that can be mixed and delivered to the solution, just like the city life itself. The key message here is: Have good analysis or give up" says.

In this regard, we can count that green buildings benefit from lies. David Baumgart, which is in the constant development market, becoming the standard of today’s stress of tomorrow, is the European Union Applications Business Development Manager of BASF, from the signature of important works on a green world.
[BASF members 11 Green Building Council across the world, mainly in Turkey. BASF, which works of objects of buildings on the environment with products such as insulation materials, concrete companies, phase changer materials, supports the development and use of classification systems that measure and prove the limits of buildings. We talked about the green buildings with David Baumgart and the urban transformation process in the conflict of Turkey. Here are comments:

The logic in the construction industry means the transition from holes
]
"Green buildings are buildings that perform high environmental performance compared to the average structures of today. If we move through this definition, we think about 5 percent of the market can be considered ‘green’. This is the highest quality market segment. Economic crises often bring together change. In terms of the construction sector, the logic of transition from temperament. In this regard, we can count that green buildings benefit from accessible. In this market that shows development, today’s positive definition is turning the standard of tomorrow. Companies need to be innovative to keep high performance in segments. "

"Global transformation is a difficult process that should be considered at the same time. For this, we need assessment systems with multiplex. ‘Green Building Classification’, which is the method of digitalizing different topics at the same time. Just like the city life itself, this is not a problem that can be mixed and easily delivered to the solution. It should be noted that it is necessary to be thoroughly removed. Key message here: Have good analysis or abandon. Some of the old buildings need to be replaced with their new ones, but most of them will be brought to certain standards. BASF is a partner of 'Renovate Europe', aiming to convince decision ants to increase the energy efficiency and elimination rate of existing buildings. There is a big potential for relaxation in EU countries. For Turkey, we believe that this will gain more importance. "
]Construction spends more resources than the total of all industries

"The construction sector in the EU styles spends more resources than the total of all other industries and is responsible for 40 percent of energy consumption in the EU. The weight of regulator in this sector is a natural thing. Recently, new regulatory laws such as Construction Products Regulation and EU Resource Efficiency Road Map, which are included in the standards for Sustainable Construction such as Basic requirements on Sustainability and EN 15804. Trend is to measure environmental impacts with Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). These methods, which are expected to become aware of the EU in the middle run, should start to use it first in Turkey. "
Special sector should avoid unaffirmed 'green' claims
"Special sector has more effort to make buildings and products' environmental properties transparent by providing life cycle analysis. This will allow real estate developers and consumers to buy not only the stars, but also the best products. In addition, special sector should avoid unaffirmed ‘green’ claims. The environmental impacts should be taken care of the communication of non-adaptive buildings. The wrong information is emitted about environmental responsibility is believed to everyone, including producers, builders and consumers. These problems will affect green movement and society by spreading like cancer. "
