NZE building
The complex was designed and built (in collaboration with Imtech) to function as an NZE building. Concrete core activation with seasonal thermal energy storage was chosen as the basic climate control system. Energy is supplied by underground cold and heat storage for which two 50-metre deep wells were drilled on the site.
