Sustainability





















Curatorial Idea:

Each pavilion concentrates on one topic of green building. The topic is content but also architectural programme.

The topics to be addressed are :

- geothermical energy

- solar energy

- drainage and xxx of water

- air xxx

- building envelopes

- life cycle of materials











Sustainability measures










1. Minimising heat-loss through the building skin by:

Using compact building form



2. Minimising heat-loss through the building skin by:

high levels of thermal insulation



3. Minimising heat-loss trough ventilation by:

tighly sealing the building



4. Minimising heat-loss trough ventilation by:

extracting heat energy from exhaust air



5. Minimising heat-loss trough ventilation by:

pre-heating supply air in the Winter

through the geothermal heat exchange system



6. Optimising thermal protection in the Summer by:

pre-cooling fresh air in subterranean air passages

of geothermal heat exchanger



7. Optimising thermal protection in the Summer by:

exterior solar protection in the tripied- glazed windows



8. Optimising thermal protection in the Summer by:

efficient interior mounted shading of the glaze roof



9. Optimising thermal protection in the Summer by:

cooling at night with fresh air to exploit the thermal

mass of the building´s primary structure



10. Maximising the passive use of solar Energy with:

flexible solar protection for the offices which allows

low winter sun into the rooms



11. Maximising the passive use of solar Energy with:

active use of solar energy with thermal solar collection/

photovoltaic collectors



12. Tempering the building climate, using the atrium:

in offices facing onto the atrium:

natural air ventialtion by opening the windows

as well as exhaust air through `overflow` elements

into the atrium by natural convection



13. Tempering the building climate, using the atrium:

in offices located on the exterior facade:

exhaust air through òverflow`elements into the atrium

by natural convection



14. Optimisation of the use of daylight through:

a relatively narrow building with (11.8m)



15. Optimisation of the use of daylight through:

an optimised proportion of window glazing: ca. 35%

of exterior and ca. 60 % of the interior facades



16. Optimisation of the use of daylight through:

the use of surfaces to direct and reflect daylight



17. Further ecological measures:

district heating from landfill methane



18. Further ecological measures:

use of recycled material and ecological, biodegradabie

and reusable building materials



19. Further ecological measures:

planted roofs
