Building and Nature

The latest environment-friendly construction and technology such as heat pumps and controlled room ventilation has been used. A structural conditioning plant, which makes use of the mass of the concrete floors in order to cool the office space in summer, completes this construction technology.

Photovoltaic unit

On the roof of our building we have a photo-voltaic system. The unit is a combination of an automatic roller blind and photo-voltaic system. Electricity is produced by the photo-voltaic unit, which is installed on the top of the roof of the Würth International office building.

Current values

• Energy 116.3 kWh
• Output 10.00 Watt
• Amount of CO2 saved 81.42 Kg

General data 

• 20 photo-voltaic blind elements
• 105 m2 total area / 50 m2 photo-voltaic area
• 105 m2 total area / 50 m2 photo-voltaic area

This means that the skylights are fitted alternately with an electronically controlled roller bind system and a semi-transparent photo-voltaic unit. In order to have sufficient light entering the courtyard of the building, the photo-voltaic elements are applied in stripes of 1 cm width.

The electricity produced by this photo-voltaic unit is entirely used by Würth International itself.The unit was created and installed by the company Würth Elektronik GmbH
