We will make it GREEN instead of GREY!
About us
As a holistic competence centre for greening buildings we promote innovations for the green and smart city of the future and facilitate their implementation.
We are the interface between our network partners from the public sector and research and share best practice. We thereby give impulses for the deployment of existing and new technologies, competences and services. A sustainable development of the market is as important to us as the affordability of technology and its broad application. In the long-term, we promote quality assurance and create a new awareness for the range of benefits of greened buildings in the context of climate change and energy.
“By providing innovation and sharing best practice and a new service offer we support and develop the sector“
