To reduce urban air pollution and the negative impacts of climate change iSCAPE leverages sustainable passive control systems, behaviour change initiatives and the living lab approach.

KIT Innovation HUB Prevention in Construction

Without a durable infrastructure, many of the UN sustainability goals cannot be achieved. The KIT HUB promotes this through the cooperative development of innovative products and services and their transfer into practice. Preventive measures extend the technical service life and reduce ecological and economic burdens. The KIT HUB also provides a communication platform for decision-makers and social groups and provides advice for all stakeholders. Training courses and further education support the knowledge transfer.
