The EU project SUSMAT is all about promoting sustainable construction and renovation. Special attention is paid to the materials used and the overall resource requirements over the life of a building. In addition, ecological refurbishments of vacant buildings are taking place in 3 municipalities, which are thus also being reused. In South Tyrol, the (partial) renovation of the Mesnerstadl in Mölten, which was developed as part of the Platform Land Renovation Consultancy, is currently underway. An example of vacancy management.
