 Sustainability measures |
|
| Urban planning | The building is located in a commercial area. The infrastructural connection is naturally good. |
| Ecology | CO2-neutral annual energy balance, rainwater is used as service water, large-scale use of PV modules, rapeseed oil CHP with combined heat and power. |
| Economics | The CHP is powered exclusively by rapeseed oil from local production, the construction details are kept practical and simple, flexibility is limited by the use of the interior walls as storage mass. |
| Socio-cultural | As this is a production and administration building, the socio-cultural measures are limited to the café on the ground floor of the Wintergarten, which is open to the public. |
