The Certificate Programme in Sustainable Construction offered by TU Graz and TU Wien has started again!

The Certificate Programme in Sustainable Construction began a new cohort on 16 January with an opening lecture by the renowned scientist Helga Kromp-Kolb.

“Discussions about decarbonisation and the transformation of society often focus exclusively on electricity generation, even though heating and cooling demand and how it is met are also crucial factors. Since the careful use of resources, including the resource ‘land’, must likewise be part of this transformation, the importance of sustainable building is self-evident. Just as farmers, in the face of climate change, cannot blindly adopt the practices of their fathers, it is equally important in the construction sector to be up to date with the latest state of knowledge—especially as buildings are intended to last for decades.”
Helga Kromp-Kolb

We are looking forward to two semesters of intensive exchange, practice-oriented content and collaborative work on solutions for the built environment of tomorrow, and we wish all participants an exciting and enriching period of continuing education!

Well prepared: New experts in Lean Construction Management

At the end of December, graduates of the Master’s programme Lean Construction Management received their graduation certificates.

The construction site as a place of waste? According to the LEAN principle, that should soon be a thing of the past. Across 34 modules, participants in the Master’s programme Lean Construction Management acquired valuable know-how in process optimisation and efficiency improvement in construction.

“Especially the construction sector demonstrates impressively that economic and ecological responsibility are not opposites, but must be considered together,” said Rector Horst Bischof in his keynote address. Guest speaker Claude-Patrick Jeutter (COO PORR AG) also emphasised: “‘LEAN’ supports us with optimal processes in using resources responsibly — regardless of whether we are talking about material consumption, equipment hours, energy requirements, personnel capacities, and so on. It is up to us how we handle this responsible task of modern construction in today’s world.”

We wish all graduates every success in applying their new skills in their professional environments and wish them all the very best.
