Emphasizing on transparency and benchmarking in energy efficiency. The critical impact of technology in sustainable construction. TÜV SÜD’s focus on advancing sustainability initiatives over the next five years.  The importance of integrating sustainable practices and technologies in building design and operation to reduce carbon footprints. Hannes discusses his role at TUF Suit and the company's international footprint. The growing trend of green building certifications like LEED, BREEAM, and Green Mark. The importance of these certifications in the global market. The need for existing buildings to adapt. Insights on the importance of these certifications in the global market.   “...buildings still can stay competitive if they get [LEED or equal] Certified and if they make measures to improve their performance in a stepwise approach. I definitely see this landscape growing also in Singapore where we have green building certification even being mandatory. Overall, in countries that are more on the wide side of green building certification, there is an emerging trend of getting certifications done and making real estate assets future proof.” - Dr. Hannes Raoul Endriß      Show Resource and Information Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.
