SurTec – a factory designed as a passive house

The newly built headquarters of SurTec GmbH represent the first factory building in Europe to be constructed as a passive house. The building had to fulfil special requirements because of the particular circumstances of this problematic site, which is located between railway tracks, a main road and a residential area. It was not possible to orient the facades in such a way as to optimise the solar energy captured. Nonetheless, the energy characteristic values are very good for this project which was built in 2000.
