Sustainable ambitions in a new decade STRATEGY

The World is evolving faster than ever, and the climate agenda is an important landmark for the world we are looking into.

The climate agenda is a key indicator for the world we live in. We can and will contribute to more sustainable solutions that can make a difference in the industry and for future generations. This applies to renewable energy production, energy savings, climate adaptation and sustainable methods of transport.

The building industry requires the same attention. We help set up new standards for lower energy consumption in both new and older buildings. Carbon emissions can be reduced through increased use of sustainable materials, such as wood. We have established a Knowledge Centre for Timber Construction, where a broad range of specialists are collaborating to build knowledge. Other materials will continue to account for a significant part of the buildings, which is why MOE is among the companies supporting the Sustainable Concrete Initiative.

Worldwide, the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals have provided a common language for green visions, and this is also reflected when we develop new services and help our customers systematise their work on sustainability.

A digital future Digitalisation is very much a characteristic at MOE and in the industry in general. Automation, BIM and ICT are key elements in the ongoing efforts to improve the quality of projects while also reducing costs. MOE has used 3D for a long time, and several additional dimensions will be integrated into our models in line with the developments. This creates significantly better conditions for the interdisciplinary coordination.

With the award-winning Building 310 at the Technical University of Denmark, we are setting new standards of collaboration in the digital sphere. Errors are minimised and decisions can be made on an informed basis through 3D viewers and virtual reality.

In 2019, we launched an Industrial PhD to help automate indoor climate calculations and improve the dissemination of results.

Several of our specialists are certified for third party control within their areas of expertise, including Helle Bugge and Thomas Enevoldsen from Aarhus who are both Technical Directors for Fire Safety and Structures, respectively. Building 310 at DTU

Legal Consulting and Cost Management The demand for knowledge and skills within legal matters and finance has increased due to the building sector’s new General Conditions for Consultancy and Description of Services. MOE wants to be one-step ahead and we have expanded our services with Legal Consulting and Cost Management. Now, MOE has two specialized teams giving internal advice and assisting our clients.

Certified consultancy Concurrently, an update of the Danish Building Regulations has led to a new certification scheme for structural engineers and fire safety consultants. It is important for MOE to offer certified consultants at all levels. Several of our specialist within both fields are already certified for third party control.
