How can the construction sector recognised infrastructure?
Ans: In the construction sector, we consider two main topics that work with each other but need different approaches. One is the carbonising construction. That's one of the big issues, and the other one is climate adaptation and resilience. We consider both points to be adopted in parallel or together, but from a carbonisation point of view, we need to start addressing the problem of what can be called low-hanging fruits of quick wings. Bentley, as a company and many of the technologies we have around, work on efficiency, circularity, and reducing water and material usage by designs. Considering machine learning, Al, cloud technologies, and everything else put on digital infrastructure, digital twins, we can immediately reduce carbon footprint in a powerful way, which is an important approach that we consider.
