Articles and videos on real estate, architecture and building technology

Real estate is more than just buildings – it combines function, technology, and design. The articles highlight developments in the planning, use, and technical equipment of buildings in the private, commercial, and public sectors.

Equipment and technical systems in modern buildings

Real estate is no longer just about buildings—it's about technical systems that intelligently combine energy, comfort, and security. In the articles presented here, companies show how sensor technology, building technology, modular systems, and smart controls can be integrated into new and existing buildings. It is becoming increasingly clear that building operations are becoming more efficient thanks to digital analysis of consumption data, networked building services, and automated control strategies.

• Building technology: heating, ventilation, cooling, sanitation
• Digital control systems and energy optimization

The focus is on solutions that reduce technical complexity while increasing comfort. Examples such as Envola, Sauter, Steinel, and Vilisto illustrate how energy flows can be controlled automatically, while systems such as Fuhr and Siegenia simplify access, security, and the use of residential and commercial properties. Software platforms such as Aedifion and Zenesis also support planners and operators in operating buildings more economically and using scarce resources precisely.

Efficient planning, digital processes, and sustainable building concepts

The planning and development of real estate is changing rapidly. Digital tools facilitate new construction, management, and modernization—from AI-supported platforms in project development to solutions for energy-efficient renovations in existing buildings. Providers such as Viadukt and Predium show how data-based models make renovation costs calculable, while Immowelt, Kleinanzeigen, and ImmoScout24 provide transparent information on market developments.

• Digital tools for project development and management
• Concepts for energy-efficient renovation and ESG strategies

The contributions reflect a shift in which sustainability and flexibility are gaining in importance. DGNB certifications, modular construction (WMM Modulbau, MOD21), and AI analyses from Syte and Neoshare help investors, municipalities, and developers reduce risks and identify potential more quickly. In addition, there are topics such as tenant electricity models, ESG reporting, and smart metering, which are becoming increasingly important for the housing industry and commercial use.

Real estate markets, urban development, and economic conditions

The real estate market is shaped by economic trends, regulatory requirements, and regional location strategies. Many articles address this context and show how cities, companies, and institutions are responding to the pressure for change. Whether commercial real estate such as DM, regional developments such as in the northern Black Forest, international markets such as Mauritius, or local examples such as Stuttgart and Düsseldorf – everywhere it becomes clear how closely the real estate industry, location policy, and user needs are linked.

• Regional and international market developments
• Urban development, economic development, and political conditions

The selected projects illustrate how investors, municipalities, and companies are strategically developing real estate. Topics such as bureaucracy in residential construction (IVD), ESG requirements (Deloitte), smart parking solutions (Wemolo), and the influence of retail concepts (DM) make it clear that real estate must increasingly be understood as a dynamic system. This is complemented by examples from the elevator and building technology industry that show how infrastructural requirements shape modern properties.
