Germany's first school planned as a PlusEnergy building is characterized by a highly thermally insulated building envelope, heat-storing solid components and energy-efficient ventilation technology. The concept is based on minimizing the energy requirements for the building and the technical systems on the one hand and on the planned use of locally available, renewable energy sources on the other.
The sustainability aspects of the new vocational school center were already integrated into the requirements planning.
The pilot project and the first BNB certification of the state capital Dresden is characterized by very good functionality in line with the building task, a high level of comfort, a balanced ecological balance, high energy efficiency and outstanding economic efficiency over the life cycle.
The campus extension of the private Witten/Herdecke University is characterized not only by its timber construction but also by its sustainable concept. In terms of energy, the low-tech approach was chosen and the focus was placed on life cycle costs.
