Behind the SCENE: Reducing CO2 emissions in construction with René Steiger, Yunus Harmanci and Christian Binz
SCENE (Swiss Center of Excellence on Net-Zero Emissions) is a Joint Initiative, co-financed by the ETH Board. The four research institutes of the ETH Domain, PSI, Empa, WSL & Eawag, as well as ETH Zurich & EPFL are involved. SCENE covers a wide range of research areas related to the goal of net-zero emissions and provides a network for cross-institutional collaboration.
René Steiger is a structural engineer and leader of the SCENE Efficient Technical Cycles Action Area at Empa’s Structural Engineering Research Laboratory.
Yunus Harmanci is a structural engineer at Empa’s Structural Engineering Research Laboratory.
Christian Binz is a social scientist at Eawag’s Environmental Social Sciences Department.
These researchers are involved in the Efficient Technical Cycles Action Area in the SCENE Project.
