How can buildings be designed to be sustainable and fit for the future? An interview with Michael Wiebelt, M.O.O.CON

The building sector is one of the biggest levers in the fight against the climate crisis. At the same time, it is under increasing pressure to transform: decarbonisation, the circular economy, ESG reporting and the EU taxonomy are fundamentally changing the requirements. The IBA Forum editorial team spoke to Michael Wiebelt, M.O.O.CON, about why existing buildings play a key role—and how companies who take a stance can reduce not only emissions but also costs and risks.
