This project was driven by strong ecological and economic ambitions which is why the building turned out to be constructed with a wooden frame and with reinforced insulation. It also used a variety of organic and geo-sourced materials such as hemp, wool and stone.
Air handling units with two directional air flows and a WISE system for demand controlled indoor climate were top priority when the ventilation installation was designed. These products and systems were selected to meet the requirements of an energy efficient operation. Further information in the links on the right hand side.
