BASF Presents European
Construction Project
Build Tog at MIPIM in
Cannes

BASF will present the European research
and construction project BuildTog at
MIPIM (Le marché international des
professionnels de l’immobilier) event in
Cannes, France at booth C21.B7. The aim
of the project is to create solutions for a
new generation of multi-dwelling units in
several European countries combining top
energy performance with cost-efficient
construction and high-quality architec-
ture. MIPIM visitors are invited to attend
“The Innovation Forum” on Wednesday,
March 11, from 11: 30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.,
at which representatives of Build Tog will
speak on “BuildTog - Affordable build-
ings in nearly-zero energy performance.”
Opportunities to join BuildTog
will also be presented.

BuildTog is a collaboration between the European Housing Network EURHONET, the French architect Nicolas Michelin and his architecture firm A/NM/A, together with the German energy efficiency consultancy LUWOGE consult and BASF, the world’s leading chemical company.

Participation in BuildTog gives partners an opportunity to familiarize themselves with ways to achieve the “Nearly Zero Energy Building” performance which will be mandatory for all new buildings in Europe from 2020. This methodology may be transferred from new build to retrofit projects. Moreover, the Build Tog methodology and its implementation via several construction projects offer an excellent opportunity for housing companies and investors to implement new construction solutions.
