The Future of Sustainable Building: Potential Analysis of Green Buildings from a Water Management Perspective exemplified by KSB SE & Co. KGaA

  • Buildings are as diverse as people themselves. As a result, it has become difficult to keep track of the technologically possible measures. But climate change is advancing and those who do not adapt to this change will have a hard time in the future. The goal is to investigate Green Buildings and identify possibilities for KSB to adapt to the future. The research topic is as follows: "The Future of Sustainable Building: Potential Analysis of Green Buildings from a Water Management Perspective exemplified by KSB SE & Co. KGaA." The research topic was approached in two ways. Firstly, a literature search was carried out on existing green buildings. Secondly, KSB internal and KSB external experts were interviewed to assess the future situation. In this way, potentials for KSB in the area of green building were identified. The potentials were subsequently evaluated using the Priority Model of Sustainability. For this purpose, beneficial attributes were named for the respective dimension of sustainability and the respective potential.Buildings are as diverse as people themselves.

The potentials were subsequently evaluated using the Priority Model of Sustainability. For this purpose, beneficial attributes were named for the respective dimension of sustainability and the respective potential. The attributes are used for potential analysis and were all worth one point in each dimension. The point scale starts at 0 (if a potential in a particular dimension does not offer any namable advantages) and ends at a maximum score of 10. The results suggest that increased digitalization of the company's own products will bring great opportunities in the future. In addition, the results and research show that in the future the focus will be much more on the natural handling of rainwater. Similar to the increase in interest in rainwater management, there are opportunities for OEM partnership with urban greening companies. Continued engagement in these matters will be the way forward.show moreshow less
