Special buildings

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

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.
