At the first IBU expert forum, ‘Next Level EPDs: Digital Tools, Automation & Best Practices,’ held on 1 July in Berlin, over 130 participants discussed how EPDs can be created in a more digital, automated and practical manner in the future. The programme offered exciting insights. Topics included software solutions, tool verification, data quality and the digital path from life cycle assessment to BIM model. This is precisely where the IBU, as programme operator, assumes responsibility – with clear standards, transparency and system understanding.
Carsten Träger, Parliamentary State Secretary at the BMUKN, set a political tone by emphasising the central role of EPDs in the sustainable transformation of the construction industry. The summer networking evening in the garden of the Alte Turnhalle in Berlin was a successful conclusion to the event.
We would like to thank all participants, speakers and partners for an inspiring day – and look forward to the next IBU expert forum in summer 2026.
