Office building in Zurich
– No Heating. No Cooling.
No Ventilation.
Using an innovative building concept, architects Baumschlager Eberle have created an energy-efficient office building that maintains a temperature range of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius without requiring heating, ventilation, or cooling.
The intelligent EgoKiefer windows, tailored for this building project, play a vital role in maintaining this stable environment. The windows are equipped with sensors that monitor the indoor climate and automatically uses ventilation flaps to regulate fresh air supply.
The EgoKiefer Ego®Selection wood/aluminum windows, with their excellent technical values, create a comfortable indoor climate in the office building, JED 2226.
These windows have been specially and exclusively developed for the 2226 building project and are equipped with sensors that monitor indoor temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide content, and energy consumption. As soon as the intelligent window detects deviations from the ideal condition, it controls the outward-opening ventilation flaps to regulate the fresh air supply.
The construction and specially automated narrow openings ventilate the interior, helping to maintain constant temperatures throughout the year. The walls are also a key component of maintaining the stable environment, as they are constructed with a 38-centimeter-thick inner layer of vertical target bricks and an outer layer of 35-centimeter insulating bricks. This natural maintenance of the indoor climate reduces CO emissions from energy consumption by up to 100% compared to a standard building. However, the emission reduction is not limited to the operational aspects of the building; careful planning and resource has furthermore reduced construction emissions by up to 50 percent.
In pursuing a more sustainable and energy-efficient future, Project 2226 in Zurich is a testament to what innovation can achieve. Exclusively featuring EgoKiefer wood/aluminum windows.
