I would like to share a few insights into one of our ongoing projects at Institut für Hochbau, Holzbau und kreislaufgerechtes Bauen (IHB), BOKU University , presented by the head of our institute Benjamin Kromoser on YouTube by "DIE FESTMACHER" (by fischer group). Discover how theory can be translated into practice, contributing to environmental protection. The project demonstrates that smart construction processes, the use of available resources and the use of sustainable materials can effectively reduce ecological footprints. 🎥 Watch the full video to learn more about our research!

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Purpose is the Pitch (PIP) from Berlin. PIP is incredibly multifaceted and profound, which led to unusually deep questions in this interview. As a result, we delved intensively into many topics that are important to both of us: Healthy Business Growth through Advisory Boards/Supervisory Boards • The crucial role that advisory boards play in driving the success of startups and scale-ups.  • The potential of advisory boards in growth companies. Women in Business • The specific challenges and opportunities that women experience in the male-dominated software industry.  • The essential qualities women need to develop to succeed as entrepreneurs.  • The significant impact of female leadership on building a successful company.  • Effective strategies to overcome obstacles and turn setbacks into successes. Success Factors of a Growth Company • How to strategically develop a company while simultaneously minimizing burn rates.  • The importance of nurturing a unique company culture, developing personal skills, managing crises effectively, and setting achievable future goals. This interview provided deep insights not only into the tactical aspects of business life but also into my personal journey of growth and resilience. It was indeed an unusual conversation thanks to the many facets of PIP as an interviewer. 🎧 Listen to the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/efiKhp6i I look forward to your feedback! #FemaleLeadership #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #CrisisManagement #CompanyCulture #Innovation

#Leipzig: Catella invests 23 million euros in student apartments. Catella Residential Investment Management has acquired a new #building with 177 #apartments in Leipzig from a family office. Catella Residential Investment Management (CRIM) has acquired a fully let new building with 177 student apartments in Leipzig for its "European Residential III" fund. The #property was completed in the third quarter of 2023. The apartments measure between 20 and 45 square meters and are fully furnished. The property also has 65 parking spaces and a #retail space on the ground floor, which was rented by a food discounter. The purchase price for the property is around 23 million euros. The seller is the Drengenberg family office. With the purchase, the #assets under management of the Catella fund increase to around 800 million euros. "The student housing property in Leipzig fully meets the #ESG requirements that we set for the assets for our investors' fund portfolio," commented Michael Keune, Managing Director at CRIM. "The serious shortage of affordable and modern #housing for students in #German and European cities is a challenge that we are facing with this #acquisition for our #portfolio."

We are excited to reveal the source of computational power that made NeuralShipper™ a reality: Z by HP workstations. These powerful machines not only expedited the development process but also ensured unparalleled efficiency. Our CTO, Junaid Awan, shared: "Z by HP empowered us to accelerate testing and development, enabling the creation of a generative tool set to revolutionize how ships are designed and built." NeuralShipper™ is the world’s first CAD tool for vessel design, trained and built on a comprehensive dataset encompassing every type, class, and specification of vessels. Acting as your digital naval architect, it excels in rapid concept generation, evaluation, and optimisation—all while satisfying your specific design and performance requirements. A special shoutout to Claudia’s team at EDGIZE GmbH—this development wouldn’t have been possible without your incredible support!

How do you behave as a sustainability manager? Do you constantly annoy people with bans and lectures? Or are you busy leading your company into the future, ensuring that it still has a valid business model? Dr. Fabian Sennekamp from Zeppelin University and I addressed these and many other questions in our first podcast together. We also talked about how the work of a sustainability manager is actually defined. The Zeppelin University podcast can be found on all the usual podcast portals. Or at the following link: https://lnkd.in/djbneSgK

🚨 From the CEO of RWE, on how the recent (mild) dunkelflaute impacted Germany. But it also applies to Wales and the UK. Prices spiked. Demand was met, just. But had this weather pattern happened in the cold of mid-winter (which it will)... "In concrete terms, this means that the same situation would not have been manageable on another day with higher peak load. For example, in January. The highest electricity demand of the year was on 15.01., it was more than 75 GW. And thus almost 10 GW more than on November 6!" #Resilience #EnergySecurity #EnergyPolicy

🚨 Shouldn't we take this warning from the CEO of RWE very seriously in Wales too? On how the recent (mild) dunkelflaute impacted Germany. But the same issue applies to us. Prices spiked. Demand was met, just. But had this weather pattern happened in the cold of mid-winter (which it will)... "In concrete terms, this means that the same situation would not have been manageable on another day with higher peak load. For example, in January. The highest electricity demand of the year was on 15.01., it was more than 75 GW. And thus almost 10 GW more than on November 6!" We can plough-on with the same "plug-in to the grid" (if it's there) model for renewables and so add cost upon complex cost in an attempt to counteract the system's fragility and its severe supply-chain pinch-points. In an energy market where we're told that renewables are the cheapest (?) but bills are sky-high. Where the capture rate (the average revenue the resource receives per MWh) for big solar and wind is decreasing (because there are increasing negative price periods as solar and wind compete for lower demands during these periods), so selling renewables to the wholesale market loses its appeal. And because of this cannibalisation of renewables of their own market, corporate developers increasingly need to make a return through PPAs with corporate buyers - hardly the stuff of "Powering XX,000 homes" - plus from the subsidies taken from our bills. This is an accounting practice not a physical energy market. Or we can design an energy policy which tackles the difficult, critical parts first. To keep the lights on and people warm. And which works backs from there. #Resilience #EnergySecurity #EnergyPolicy

Electricity markets go wild - VPP customers benefit! 💰 Today's extreme electricity price fluctuations highlight how unpredictable the electricity market can be. As a customer of a virtual power plant (VPP) like Flexa, you don’t have to worry about these fluctuations - you can take advantage of them. When prices are high, we sell electricity back to the grid; when prices are low, we charge batteries and electric vehicles. This ensures you always get the best value while actively contributing to the green energy transition. ⚡🔋 🔗 Check out Enpal’s post below and the Handelsblatt article for more details on today’s electricity price chaos. 📰

Listen to this podcast. My colleagues are talking about our MIA. Interesting part is how she was born - as an initiative of one of my colleagues. It is nice example how innovation in Dlubal Software works. If you have a good idea, you can try to get buyin. Afterwards, you might start with implementation. #Dlubal #Innovation #MIA #LLM #AI

Hansemerkur plans office #building at Berlin’s Checkpoint Charlie. HanseMerkur Grundvermögen AG acquires a #site for the #development of a 16,000 square meter office building in #Berlin. The #investment and #assetmanager Hansemerkur Grundvermögen AG (HMG) has acquired a plot of land measuring approximately 5,000 square meters at Markgrafenstrasse 11-14, which is located near the former border crossing "Checkpoint Charlie" on Friedrichstrasse. The building permit has already been granted and completion is scheduled for 2027. The plan calls for an #energyefficient building with around 16,000 square meters of rental space. The aim is to achieve #sustainability certification in DGNB Gold. "Due to the current collapse in new #construction activity and overall lower competition, we see further potential in our new #office project. Modern space in a central location is still needed and demand remains high. With our new building in the center of Berlin, we are investing in this development," says Malte Andes, deputy chairman of the board of Hansemerkur Grundvermögen AG. Hansemerkur Grundvermögen has chosen Quantum Projektentwicklung GmbH to implement the new building. Quantum will also take over the #leasing.

#Germany must be greenhouse gas neutral by 2045. The Dena study calculates for the first time the concrete costs for the energy #transition of all public #buildings to a #climate-neutral level by 2045 and looks at possible financing approaches. 💶 It shows that the speed and depth of #renovation must be increased significantly. The costs for a corresponding reduction in #energy consumption alone amount to 120 billion euros, or 6 billion euros per year. For this reason, SolMind FlexCo offers customized energy & financing solutions to quickly increase speed. #energycommunities 💡 🚄 And what about multi-tenant #assets within #Europe ? 🏢 Is there anyone who can pass on further information from #Hungary, #Poland and #CzechRepublic ? 🌍 Many thanks in advance. 🙏 https://lnkd.in/diQHng4t
