KlimaResist – Ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz zur Reaktion auf klimawandelbedingte Belastungen für Unternehmen und ihre Beschäftigten in den Bau- und Ausbaugewerken des Hochbaus
摘要
Climate change affects and impacts us all, but especially employees who earn their living primarily outdoors. They are increasingly exposed to heat, UV radiation and extreme weather events.
The KlimaResist project is developing and testing an integrated, MTO-based intervention concept that combines wearable sensor technology, work planning tools and corporate culture development to systematically reduce climate change-related health risks in building construction.
KlimaResist is funded by the BMAS and carried out by ILAG—Institut Leistung Arbeit Gesundheit, Plön, Berufsforschungs- und Beratungsinstitut für interdisziplinäre Technikgestaltung, Bochum (BIT), IKK Classic and the Institute for Technologies and Management of Digital Transformation (TMDT) at the University of Wuppertal in cooperation with companies in the building construction and finishing trades and social partners.
Practical Relevance: The building sector accounts for around 35% of final energy consumption and 30% of carbon dioxide emissions in Germany. In order to prevent climate change from accelerating further, existing buildings must be modernised to improve their energy efficiency and climate-friendly new buildings must be constructed. This requires efficient and healthy workers in the construction and finishing trades. At the same time, these employees are increasingly exposed to the effects of climate change due to the high proportion of outdoor work they do. Scientifically sound and practical concepts are therefore needed to protect these employees.
