Sustainable design of Alpine infrastructures

In cooperation with alpS Centre of Climate Change Adaptation Technologies

A new form of relationship between nature, society and the economy will become a decisive factor in our living and economic environment. The Alpine environment increasingly demands that we reinforce this relationship, most importantly in terms of Alpine infrastructures. It should become possible to integrate the different necessary functionalities in one structure.

 Sustainable design of Alpine power plants

In cooperation with alpS Centre of Climate Change Adaptation Technologies

As regards our energy supplies, we have now reached a crucial turning point. For quite some time, industry across the globe has been showing a strong tendency towards renewable forms of energy to replace fossile engergy sources and nuclear power.
The advantages of renewable energy being widely known, large parts of the population strongly support its promotion. While in non-Alpine areas, it is relatively easy to plan and build such plants, the integration of renewable sources of energy in a sensitive and environmentally-friendly manner following environmental design ideas presents a great challenge in the Alpine zone.
