CEO Dr. Marion Henschel gives keynote speech at the Baukongress in Aachen (12-13.6.2024)
"The future of construction" was the main theme of the Construction Congress, which took place last week in Aachen with around 400 experts in construction and technical building services. For two days, scientists and companies discussed the future topics of sustainability, automation and digitalization.
The second day of the congress began with a keynote speech by Dr. Marion Henschel on the 'Role of facility management in the decarbonization of the building stock - building in operation'.
When asked at the beginning whether anyone was thinking of facility management when it came to future topics, the STRABAG PFS boss initially received surprised looks. This was to change after around 30 minutes of the keynote.
"From the Feudelschwinger and using our eco2state-navigator, we become the conductor of building technology."
Dr. Marion Henschel
The role of facility management in future topics in the real estate and construction industry is changing. This was one of the key messages of her keynote speech, because in addition to traditional FM services, data-based services in energy management are being combined with installation expertise in building technology to create an integrated product. This means that the performance gap in buildings, which is primarily an information gap, can be closed by STRABAG PFS in the short term with digital solutions. This is because the decarbonization of buildings requires minimal investment as a first step.
"Harvest the low-hanging fruit first - that's what I mean when I talk about building in the company."
Dr. Marion Henschel
With the eco2state-navigator, the energy efficiency of existing properties can be reduced by up to 30%,CO2 emissions avoided and operating costs saved.
These solutions no longer have anything in common with the image of a feudelschwinger.
