IBU is committed at EU level to improving the new Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
“Good intentions are not enough. We reject unreasonable costs for construction product manufacturers, especially if they do not provide any additional benefits for sustainability,” says Florian Pronold, Managing Director of the Institute for Building and Environment (IBU).
We are very pleased to welcome a total of eight new members to the Institute Construction and Environment e.V. in the first quarter of 2025. With their expertise and commitment, they strengthen our joint network:
Independent verification is the core element of every Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in the IBU programme. It ensures that EPDs meet high quality and transparency requirements.
At its current meeting in February 2025, the IBU Advisory Board (SVR) appointed Anne-Caroline Erbstößer as a new member of the board.
The most important abbreviations and terms from standardisation, the Construction Products Regulation and sustainable building explained in a compact and comprehensible glossary!
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 Institute Construction and Environment e.V. (IBU) is starting the year with good news: in the fourth quarter of 2020, 14 companies and organizations from various sectors of the construction and materials industries have found their way to the IBU.
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.
We are pleased to welcome a total of 23 new members to our association in the third quarter of 2024.
