Climate change is here, and the consequences of climate extremes such as heat records, heavy rainfall and storms are putting people and buildings at risk. It is therefore important to slow down climate change with sustainable and efficiently produced building products, but also to protect ourselves from the increasing climate extremes.
Climate-proof building products must therefore be efficient, sustainably produced, free from harmful substances, resilient to climate extremes and recyclable. However, transparent evaluation systems for these criteria do not yet exist.
With the "climate.proof.build" initiative, the ift Rosenheim ConTec has developed an assessment methodology that provides a transparent statement on the "climate safety" of building components based on recognized rules and standards.
How climate-proof building products are certified
The assessment includes criteria for the product and the company (production). The result is a weighted key figure that companies can market effectively with the associated "climate.proof.build" label.
This simultaneously supports manufacturers and suppliers in the assessment of climate resilience, the transformation to sustainability and the circular economy
and the sale of sustainable and quality products.
Further information on details and costs is available on request.

Climate-proof Building for The Future
The technical article provides information on requirements and assessment methods for climate-resilient and sustainable building products. The complete article can be found free of charge on the ift Rosenheim website.
Market research “climate-proof building”
In order to obtain reliable information about the interest of planners, manufacturers, dealers and builders in the topics of sustainability and climate-resilient building, ift Rosenheim conducted an online survey together with B+L Marktdaten. Further information on the survey and insights into the results can be found on the ift Rosenheim website.
Certification of sustainability
For manufacturers and processors of building elements, ift Rosenheim offers the possibility of mapping various sustainability aspects of their products via the environmental product declaration, the sustainability product passport, the CO2 footprint and the measurement of VOC emissions.
