Existing building infrastructure generates over a quarter of the world's annual CO2 emissions. That staggering figure underlines the urgent need for transformative action. The clock is ticking: by 2030, the entire building sector must halve its emissions compared to 2019 levels in order to effectively limit global warming.

In this episode, we welcome our guest Hannes Endriß, business line manager for Smart and Sustainable Buildings at TÜV SÜD to discuss the critical role of sustainable buildings in combating climate change. We uncover some of the most relevant regulatory challenges and implications, discuss new cutting-edge technologies and what advancements are needed to drive sustainability in the building sector. Tune in to learn more!
