DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION<br />
Design was guided by the goals of achieving a low<br />
heat load and primary energy demand, high<br />
energy production and flexible working space.<br />
Energy Efficiency<br />
For the façade, pre-manufactured panels were<br />
developed. Triple glazing provides powerful<br />
insulation. Optimal sun protection is achieved by<br />
means of external shading devices and radiation<br />
control glazing. Great attention was paid to the<br />
possibility of natural ventilation via windows.<br />
Further, small radiators are part of the panel. The<br />
high-tech envelope has excellent insulating<br />
qualities, is made of quality and durable materials.<br />
(main: glass, wood, steel).<br />
Electricity needs are supported by a buildingintegrated<br />
photovoltaic system with 210 kWp<br />
while a biogas cogeneration unit provides base<br />
loads of both heat and electricity, including supply<br />
for an absorption cooling machine in the summer<br />
time. The demand for heating and cooling across<br />
the building is achieved with a simple but effective<br />
technology, concrete core activation: water pipes<br />
are integrated into the concrete ceilings/floors. In<br />
this manner 80% of the heating demand of ca. 25<br />
kWh/m 2 net floor area and 85% of the cooling<br />
demand (ca 30kWh/m 2 net floor area) are<br />
covered. The remaining part is covered via<br />
convectors. The positioning of the building allows<br />
optimum use of natural lighting, but it is<br />
complemented by a low general and targeted<br />
work space lighting.<br />
Building Automation The building is equipped<br />
with an innovative control system. Users control<br />
their work space comfort via touchpad and PC,<br />
while a system of wireless sensors monitor overall<br />
conditions, ensuring operations optimization.<br />

ECONOMICS<br />
The decision on following an integral concept is a<br />
display of the company’s values and striving for<br />
innovation, a statement and demonstration of<br />
possibilities for future workspace organization<br />
already today. The building is also part of an RTD<br />
project, a living laboratory for further progress<br />
and innovation for tomorrow’s buildings.<br />
