Key speaker Timo Leukefeld talked about and introduced possible solutions for following areas:
- self sufficient buildings
- limits of robots in households and society
- 3D printers usage for building construction
- different technology approaches in the future – surface of buildings will be used for generating energy or buildings will be constructed with thick walls
- heating will be less important and cooling will be more important due to climate change
- a lot of technology in the buildings means a lot of money (investment, technical support, maintenance, energy etc.)
- new business models works with different building roofs (shape customized for solar energy + built just from solar parts) – i.e. not roof and separate solar panels
- issue with a lack of skilled labor (no technicians understanding technology)
- simplification of solutions in future projects
- need of emergency energy source in case of blackout
- solution can be applied for new buildings but we need to have solutions also for old (existing) buildings
- the issue is not how to change people’s behavior but how to change buildings for people to live the way they wish
