According to a new study by EU scientists, one percent of the EU's surface area is sufficient to cover the community's entire electricity needs with solar power.
For more than 180 days, the electricity supply for the country's almost 5 million inhabitants has been provided almost entirely by renewable energy sources. Thanks to hydropower in particular, the country can now almost completely dispense with fossil fuels for its electricity supply. In addition to hydropower, wind power, photovoltaics and geothermal energy are also used.

DERIX Group invites you to the study day "Modern timber construction in historic Amsterdam" on 26.10.2017. The event will take place in the new ABN AMRO Pavilion in Amsterdam, in the construction of which DERIX Group was involved.
In co-operation with the Dutch Houtblad, architects and planners from the Netherlands will gain vivid and exciting insights into modern timber construction on the basis of current major projects and will be comprehensively informed about the special features of glulam and X-LAM as future-oriented building materials.
In the second part of the study day, excursions to the previously discussed construction projects will take place: Here, the participants will visit the nine-storey "Jakarta" hotel, which is made up of X-LAM modules, and the "De 7 Deugden" brewery, which was also built entirely from X-LAM. A total of 200m³ of X-LAM was used for the wall, ceiling and roof elements.
In addition to specialist information and excursions, the study day offers a good opportunity to expand your own network. Get into dialogue with other architects and planners and benefit from a stimulating exchange with your colleagues.
The number of participants is limited to 100 people. Secure your participation and register by 01 October 2017:

The City of Hamburg promotes the use of wood for the new construction of non-residential buildings with a floor space of 100 m² or more.
The use of wood in the building construction of new buildings is being 800 € per tonne of wood product promoted.
In addition Insulation materials with the quality mark RAL-UZ 132 or 140 (Blue Angel) or the natureplus seal with a subsidy of 10,- €/m² component area promoted. At least 80 percent by volume of the thermally insulating building component must consist of the sustainable insulation material.
In an office building with 1,000 m² of heated floor space and solid wood exterior walls and ceilings, about 200 tonnes of wood are used. This would be eligible for funding of 160,000 €. The maximum amount of funding per building is 250,000 €*.
