Energy efficiency now in the museum

Directly alongside the Ritter Sport chocolate factory is the Museum Ritter, which was designed by the Berlin architect Max Dudler.Here the natural resources timber, solar energy and geothermal energy are deployed in the cutting-edge building services technology, whereby very high demands have been set for the indoor environment in the exhibition rooms for conservation reasons.

Office buildings

New climate in Karlsruhe printing company

The commercial property from the 1970s ought to be radically modernised. The low-rise building for around 120 staff had the same weaknesses as many buildings from this period: high energy consumption, inadequate daylight provision, poor air quality and thermally uncomfortable in summer and winter.

Office buildings as investment property

There are often good tax and financial reasons for investors to build and then lease office buildings, even if the construction order comes from the future user. At the same time, the parties involved often have different interests. A new office building was built for employees of DB Netz AG in Hamm (Westphalia/Germany). The project also highlights the particular difficulties that an arrangement of this kind creates for an energy-optimised building.

Extension for KfW Bankengruppe

KfW Bankengruppe values sustainability in its buildings. This new building, which is located in Frankfurt city centre near to the Palmengarten, has energy-optimised heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting systems. These systems are complemented by a water-saving concept.

Revitalising office towers

The headquarters of the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) was built in the late 1960s as a group of office towers in Frankfurt’s Westend.In recent times, the building was starting to look somewhat down at heel and therefore the owner decided that it needed to undergo radical modernisation – only the load-bearing framework from the original building remained intact. This enabled the provision of daylight, fresh air, heat and cooling to be considerably improved and, above all, to be carried out in a much more energy-efficient way.

Refurbishment of a Gründerzeit house with interesting details

In Hamburg, a Gründerzeit house that comprises two structurally identical building sections was fully refurbished. The refurbishment was carried out using two sets of standards to enable the two refurbishment alternatives to be compared in respect of energy efficiency and costs. Particular attention was paid to developing transferable solutions for the refurbishment of Gründerzeit houses.
