The early sensitisation of future decision makers in the real estate industry related to sustainability is crucial for the whole sector. The early sensitisation future decision makers is very important for the whole sector, because only via the dissolution of the apparent conflict of goals between ecology, economy and social justness a contribution to the intergenerational fairness and to the global climate protection is provided.
