Experts from a wide range of disciplines work at Openly. Reason enough to bring our colleagues in front of the curtain at irregular intervals and introduce their areas of work. This time, we put a few questions to Dr. Christoph Neururer, who heads up the "C-sink certification" department at Openly.

Timber construction in particular is setting new standards in terms of construction speed. At the same time, fewer and fewer skilled workers are available. These two factors have inspired us to develop a prefabricated wet room with heat recovery together with Vorfaplast.

OPENLY project in Widnau builds on 10 tons of reused steel beams.
Circular economy: There is great potential for reducing emissions in the reuse of steel components. Due to the high degree of standardization, this opportunity to save grey energy should definitely be exploited from a climate protection perspective. The reuse of steel beams is still in its infancy in practice.
