Energy Savings

Energy consumption was significantly reduced, thanks to an innovative cooling system and a sophisticated building design. The building measures and integrated cooling system with heat recovery reduced heating requirements by almost 90% to 21 kWh/m2a. The primary energy consumption, meanwhile, fell from 344 kWh/m2a to 86 kWh/m2a. Construction costs amounted to 860 euro/m2, while the cost of implementing the technical systems was 370 euro/m2.
