Why the IFC format is the key to sustainable construction in 2025

The IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format has become an indispensable tool for design and execution in construction operations in recent years. This universal data format enables seamless interoperability between various software solutions in architecture, engineering, and facility management. According to a McKinsey study, the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is closely linked to the IFC standard, has the potential to reduce construction costs by up to 20% and [...]

LEED and BREEAM in Germany: Sustainable Construction in Focus

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) are two of the best-known certification systems for sustainable construction worldwide. LEED was developed in the USA and has become a global standard for environmentally friendly construction since its introduction in 1998. It evaluates buildings based on various criteria, including energy efficiency, water management, material selection, and indoor environmental quality. BREEAM, on the other hand, originated in the United Kingdom and was established in 1990
