USE OF INTELLIGENT
BUILDING MANAGEMENT
Our Bruckmühl headquarters are a prime
example of how modern environmental
management combined with economic
success fosters sustainable growth. When
expanding our production and laboratory
facilities, which were inaugurated in late
2020, we integrated state-of-the-art environmental technologies with custom-built
regional and sustainable solutions:
LOW-TEMPERATURE
HE ATING CONCEPT
Up to 80–90% of heat for
heating purposes comes from
production waste heat
CO 2
Intelligent control and measurement technology allows for monitoring and optimisation of energy
consumption
COMBINING PHOTOVOLTAICS WITH A GREEN ROOF
A green roof helps cool the roof surface, increasing the PV system’s
efficiency ratio, whilst creating a
valuable habitat. The shade provided
by the PV module improves water
availability for roof plants.
HIGHLY EFFICIENT
COOLING
using a turbo compressor with
a river water re-cooling system
and free cooling capability:
1 kWh of electricity can be
used to produce up to 14 kWh
of cold
