With their new office building in the German town of Donauwörth, Obel Architekten have created an ultra-modern working environment that also serves as an innovative living laboratory. Behind the striking louvre-blade facade, state-of-the-art ventilation technology from Schüco is installed. The systems are being tested and evaluated during operation. This project exemplifies how design, comfort and technical innovation can be combined convincingly. Here are the details.
The building envelope is that part of a building that separates the exterior of the building from the interior.
When using automation in the building envelope, more living comfort usually goes hand in hand with energy savings. And window functions can also be coupled with the heating system.
As part of a lighting and ventilation concept for the new UK Hydrographic Office building in Taunton, England, the building was fitted with 200 Velux Modular Skylights on the roof of the atrium.
Providing indoor spaces with sufficient fresh, germ-free air is currently a key issue. Independent institutes and research communities confirm the importance of providing fresh air indoors as an effective means of combating Covid-19 aerosol transmission and increasing well-being.
In the winter months, newly installed wooden windows are more likely to develop water bubbles in the paint of the exterior coating. This is usually due to unfavourable climatic conditions on the construction site. In addition to the proper application of the coating, effective ventilation helps to avoid damage and customer complaints.
The 155-meter Marienturm is a striking addition to the Frankfurt skyline. Find out how this building project received the LEED Platinum certification with the help of facade manufacturer Hueck:
Excessive moisture loads in functional joints and reveals of windows are not only a problem during autumn and winter. See here what can happen and what can be done.
