Abstract
Architecture has a profound impact on the use of resources. For example, in 2014, the building sector alone was responsible for half of Europe’s energy and material consumption (COM 2014). Increasing efficiency will involve all steps from material extraction, to manufacturing, assembly, construction, and usage.
