In Südtirol wurden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Sanitätsbetrieb und weiteren Experten gesetzliche Bestimmungen und Richtlinien erarbeitet, die die Sicherheit der Bevölkerung und künftiger Gäste in den Vordergrund stellen. Die umfangreichen Sicherheitsauflagen wurden mittels eines eigenen Südtiroler Landesgesetzes eingeführt. Sie betreffen Hygiene- und Sicherheitsmaßnahmen von Betrieben, Mitarbeitern und Kunden bzw. Gästen. Das Landesgesetz Nr. 4/2020 ist seit 8. Mai in Kraft und wird ergänzt um die Dringlichkeitsmaßnahme bei Gefahr in Verzug des Landeshauptmannes Nr. 28/2020 vom 22.05.2020 sowie der aktualisierten Anlage A.

In dieser Übersicht finden sich die wichtigsten Regelungen und Empfehlungen entlang der touristischen Wertschöpfungskette.

Bei allen wirtschaftlichen Tätigkeiten müssen Arbeitserbringer im direkten Kundenkontakt chirurgische Masken verwenden. Alle weiteren Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter müssen in geschlossenen Räumen in Anwesenheit weiterer Personen eine chirurgische Maske tragen, unabhängig vom Abstand zwischen den Personen.
Im Freien und in geschlossenen Räumen aller Art ist stets ein Sicherheitsabstand von einem Meter einzuhalten, ausgenommen zusammenlebende Mitglieder desselben Haushalts.
Es gilt keine allgemeine Pflicht zum Tragen eines Schutzes der Atemwege, außer der Sicherheitsabstand wird nicht eingehalten. Allerdings ist das Tragen eines Schutzes der Atemwege von 18.00 Uhr bis 06.00 Uhr in öffentlich zugänglichen Orten und Räumlichkeiten verpflichtend.
In geschlossenen, der Öffentlichkeit zugänglichen Räumen muss die Desinfektion der Hände immer und überall möglich sein. Außerdem wird allen empfohlen, Desinfektionsmittel für die Hände immer dabei zu haben und regelmäßig zu verwenden.
Durch Zugangsregelungen werden Überfüllungen und Menschenansammlungen vermieden.
Regelmäßiges Händewaschen und die Nutzung von Desinfektionsmittel ist empfohlen.
Jegliche körperlichen Aktivitäten im Freien sind erlaubt. Dabei muss ein Abstand von einem Meter zu anderen Personen eingehalten werden. Wird dieser Abstand unterschritten, muss ein Schutz der Atemwege getragen werden.
Öffentliche Events und Veranstaltungen können unter diversen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen stattfinden, welche z.B. das Tragen eines Atemschutzes bei einem Abstand von einem Meter vorsehen. Kinos, Museen und Bühnendarstellungen sind ebenfalls unter Einhaltung der Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zugänglich.
Die Verabreichung von Speis und Trank ist bei öffentlichen Veranstaltungen unter Einhaltung der Schutzmaßnahmen für die Gastronomie zulässig.
Touristische Angebote sind unter Einhaltung des Sicherheitsabstandes möglich.
Eine fünfköpfige Expertenkommission beobachtet den Verlauf der Corona-Infektionen und empfiehlt bei Bedarf weitere Maßnahmen.

CONTESS – The international industry meeting.

Solutions for the challenges of the future

The use of membranes, ropes, steel and newly developed fiber materials, especially in facade construction and textile architecture, enables resource-saving use of materials, filigree aesthetics, breathtaking and elegant shapes, which at the same time promote creativity.
The CONTESS congress shows the latest developments in the field of architecture, design, research and innovative products. The topic is increasingly focusing on ecological issues; The environment and budgets are fundamental reasons that are paramount today.
The developments and interest of the market generate attention and offer a unique platform for exploring innovative materials and future-oriented products as well as business opportunities. These topics are available at CONTESS 2022 from 23.-24. September in the focus of the event.

The building climate department under the direction of Prof. Dr. Natalie Eziger wants to establish the topic of sustainable and energy-efficient construction as a matter of course and overriding in the construction industry through teaching and research.
Research focuses on the sustainability assessment of buildings, city districts and their energy concepts, taking into account the entire life cycle. As part of national and international research projects, the department has already developed numerous system variants for different building typologies and tested them in practice using case studies.
These include participation in the development of the DGNB and BNB system, the technical coordination of the “OPEN HOUSE” catalog of criteria for assessing the sustainability of buildings in Europe, system variants for sports buildings and the development of a catalog of criteria for small residential buildings. Furthermore, the research group deals with life cycle assessments, life cycle costs, sports facility construction and concepts for plus-energy buildings in existing and new buildings.

Seilbahn Olang I+2 Führung und Besichtigung mit Cornelius Schlotthauer und Dirk Emmer

Eine außergewöhnliche Architektur – die neue Anlage besticht nicht nur durch ihre technischen Merkmale, sondern vor allem auch durch die besondere Architektur. Mit dem architektonischen Meisterwerk von Dipl. Ing. Cornelius Schlotthauer (ehemaliger Senior Associate bei Zaha Hadid Architects) und der modernen Seilbahntechnik von Doppelmayr Italia ist die Aufstiegsanlage das neue Highlight.
Das markante Dach besteht aus durchsichtiger Folienhaut und ist wie eine Welle geformt. Die
darin umgesetzte Grundidee bestand in der Schaffung einer Gebäudehütte, die die Integration, Erweiterung oder Verbindung der bestehenden Stationsbauten mit einer davon baulich unabhängigen, transparenten Dachkonstruktion vereint. Dadurch können die Gebäude frei mit den natur- und technikbedingten Erschütterungen schwingen. Die Dachkonstruktionen in Folien-Material ETFE sowie die Fassaden an den drei Gebäuden wurden von der Fa. Temme/Obermeier gebaut.
