Wooden eight-storey building "H8" in Bad Aibling

H8_Building83043 Bad Aibling: The "H8" building is the first eight-story wooden high-rise in Germany. It was built in 2011 in the Upper Bavarian town of Bad Aibling. Together with the building E3 in Berlin, it is currently one of the tallest wooden buildings in Germany. 9 WEs and offices. Usable area: 803 m2, Architect: Architekturbüro Schankula. Client: B&O Wohnungswirtschaft, the building is located in a zero-energy quarter, completion: 2011

Construction costs: 2,000 euros per square metre of living space
Rent: 10 euros per square meter, warm.
Energy demand: 18 kWh/m²

The eight storeys were erected on site in just over 3 weeks.

Following the idea of a zero-energy city, a neighbourhood with model character is to be realised on the park site through high-quality thermal insulation of all buildings, modernisation of the local heating system including distribution network and the use of renewable energies. The quarter's regenerative power generation includes large-scale photovoltaic systems (building area 9,000 m², open area 50,000 m²) and the expansion of the Spitzingsee hydroelectric power plant.
