Obere Waldplätze 12 - Stuttgart
The planning and consulting company Drees & Sommer SE is constructing a unique administration building at its headquarters in Stuttgart-Vaihingen that meets all modern requirements for environmental friendliness and digitalization.
The so-called “PlusEnergyHouse” is designed in such a way that more energy is generated during operation than is consumed. A newly developed, highly insulating façade construction, photovoltaic systems on the roof and on the south façade, geothermal energy via geothermal boreholes and a green north façade help to achieve this. The architecture was designed by SCD Architekten Ingenieure GmbH from Stuttgart.
The investment for the four-storey plus-energy building, which will provide new jobs for 200 employees, will amount to around EUR 22 million. The 20 m high and 70 m long new building offers a large conference area, a terrace, a cafeteria and a canteen for up to 1,000 employees on a gross floor area of around 7,000 m².
Digital technologies make construction easier and take the strain off employees
Digital methods such as Building Information Modeling are used for planning and construction.
- To achieve the sustainability goals of the new building, the building materials used are documented with the help of the Building Material Scout.
This saved a lot of time when researching the choice of materials. Delivered products could be checked for approval and the correct certifications with a quick glance at the Building Material Scout.
Thanks to the precise documentation and the cradle-to-cradle design principle applied, the building materials can be recycled in high quality or are completely degradable when the building is demolished at a later date.
