The green and digital transformation requires and enables the development of new materials, products, and technologies in the construction sector. Both the construction of existing buildings and new builds must be quickly and safely shifted from an evolutionary to a disruptive pace of development and application in terms of climate protection, resource conservation and the need for climate-neutral binders and building materials. Only a dynamic research and development strategy can reduce the current high CO2 footprint and resource consumption in the construction sector. The use of substitute or bio-based residual materials, the reuse or recycling of building materials and the use of climate-friendly binding agents are of central importance here. It is also important to use intelligent technologies to produce sustainable, multifunctional and recyclable building components and structures. With its research and development topics, BAM contributes to the safety of these innovative approaches and solutions.
