Swiss Prime Site plans sustainable new building in Schlieren
Swiss Prime Site Immobilien plans to build a new office building in Schlieren (ZH) with a sustainable building concept. The building is to operate without heating, ventilation, cooling or the supply of external energy.
The planned new JED building in Schlieren is a "return to the roots of building," Swiss Prime Site writes in a statement. Instead of investing more and more in technology in order to build in an energy-saving way and to operate buildings as ecologically as possible, the real estate company wants to implement a building designed by Prof. Dietmar Eberle that concentrates on "the elementary means of architecture".
The building will be constructed in solid construction and thus, according to Swiss Prime Site, will have a high storage effect. In addition, the chosen surfaces and materials should be able to compensate for temperature fluctuations. The aim is to be able to maintain a constant temperature of between 22 and 26 degrees Celsius in the interior rooms - without heating, ventilation or the supply of external energy.
Specifically, in the new JED building, sensors distributed throughout the building are to report when certain limit values for CO2, humidity and temperature are reached. Then, for example, windows will open and close automatically to return to the "indoor climatic comfort zone." The windows are arranged and dimensioned in such a way that work can be carried out in the rooms without shading or artificial light in the height of summer.
According to Peter Lehmann, CEO of Swiss Prime Site Immobilien, the maintenance and operating costs of the new building will be only about half those of conventional properties. Energy consumption will be minimized because the building services will mainly be limited to control software. The new building is scheduled for completion by 2022. (ah)
