OpenOffice, Essen, Germany

OpenOffice is an experimental building for the Zeche Zollverein site in Essen / Germany. The aim is to develp an energetically autonomous and infrastructurally independent building.

Tools to achieve energetic autonomy:

• economic building planning with utilization of active and passive methods to improve energy efficiency.

• optimization of the building skin - concerning materials and buildign systems.

• photovoltaic energy gain thourh solar foil.

• thermal solar gains thourh solar ripp collektor.

• fuel cells to generate electricity - the thermal redundance will be used for heating.

Tools to achieve supply autonomy:

• collection and filtration of rain water via the roof-scape.

• installation of a decentralized vacuum deposit system.

The building will state an example, how modular light-weight building methods, can establish sustainable buildings.
