From 13 to 17 January, Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V. (IBU) successfully presented itself at BAU 2025 in Munich. The stand provided a platform for exchanging ideas and information on environmental product declarations (EPDs) and sustainable construction.
Sustainability and transparency in the construction industry are in high demand – as shown by the development of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in 2024. Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V. (IBU) had a successful year with an increase in the number of EPDs published and a significant increase in membership.
The IBU is celebrating the success of its event “Future-oriented technologies – EPDs in the digital transformation”, which attracted around 260 interested parties from the construction, IT and environmental sectors.
IBU is reacting to the growing market demand for specific CO2 information and is expanding its services to include Product Carbon Footprint (PCF).
