The 3-day workshop under the EU Life project "Renew Building" wasconsistently greeted positively by the students as in addition to learning about green building the networking and exchanges with experts were possible.

The top-class team of lecturers around Stefan Prokupek brought lectures and practical examples from the fields of ecological building and insulation materials, building physics, planning, design and details.

The course itself was divided into two parts. In order to use the workshop days as efficiently as possible for practical examples and expert presentations the course participants had the possibility of using the e-learning platform of "Renew Building" in order to acquaint with the subject of green building and renovation before the workshop started.

The presentation team for the three-day workshop consisted among others of Dr. Robert Wimmer (Sustainability in the Construction Sector - Global Aspects), Alfred Ruhdorfer (Sustainability at the Regional Level) and Prof. Dr. Heinrich Bruckner (Ecological Building Materials from a Research Perspective). In the two planning workshops were discussed on the basis of two best-practice building detail planning and critical junctions. Our experts DI Murat Erol, DI Markus Brandstetter and DI Karin Reisinger pointed to problems with connections and the detailed planning for stuffing applications, as reed glass and foam and discussed with the participants solution variants for individual components.

Am letzten Kurstag wurde die Lehrbaustelle Böheimkirchen besichtigt und die KursteilnehmerInnen hatten die Möglichkeit gemeinsam mit den beiden Praxistrainern Dr. Karl Stingl und Anton Auer und den TeilnehmerInnen des Praxiskurses Details und Bauteile für die Baustoffe Kalk und Lehm zu begutachten und dabei Problemstellungen und Lösungsmöglichkeiten zu diskutieren und sich auszutauschen.

Vor allem der Expertenaustausch und die Möglichkeit des Netzwerkens wurden von den TeilnehmerInnen als sehr positiv hervorgehoben und eine Fortsetzung der Kursreihe vor allem im Bereich der Detailplanung ist bereits in Arbeit.
