Prof. Dr. Hans Sommer at Eurohypo Ecology Congress

24.10.2007

On November 1, 2007 Professor Hans Sommer will present a paper and join a panel discussion at the  Building ECO Value congress in Berlin.

Former Tagesthemen anchor man Ulrich Wickert will facilitate the high-powered congress featuring the Federal Minister for Environment and Reactor Safety, Sigmar Gabriel and other speakers from industry, politics and science. The ecology experts will discuss the opportunities and limits of climate protection in the construction of commercial properties.

Hans Sommer, Chairman of the Executive Board of Drees & Sommer, will give a keynote address on the topic of 'Ecology - A driver for modern facility management'. The fact that ecology and economy are mutually dependent is a topic that has occupied Hans Sommer for over 25 years - long before it came into vogue. Extensive experience in the construction of properties confirm that ecological energy concepts are always economical - and that efficient facade and climate concepts can reduce energy consumption by up to 60 percent.
