Dr. Zsuzsa Szalay (BME) and Ilona Illésné Szécsi (MEHI, RenoPont) gave an online presentation entitled New Considerations in Construction: sustainability . Although everyone today is promoting sustainability, not everything is sustainable what it seems.

Exciting topics were discussed at the “Building my Home” conference, the
life-cycle analysis and why building renovation is more sustainable than constructing a new one.

They also talked about the built-in energy content of the materials used, the need to renovate after the Hungarian energy tarif changes, renovation practices to date and also about RenoPont, which makes the renovation process easier. The presentation was given at the Building My Home 2023 online construction conference. The other 56 valuable presentations at the conference are available here, and Ilka’s presentation here.
