Project summary
This project was a “Building of Tomorrow Plus” key project.
The aim of this key project was unlocking a new dimension of sustainability: cradle to cradle for operation and buildings, which means zero emission, zero energy, zero waste. This was shown by the lighthouse project Gugler GmbH, a modern sustainable media service operation (classic print and new media, which was extended from the current level about 2100 square meters and about 90 employees to approximately 5,000 m²).
The link to the entire Project
The long term goal of the construction industry must be to classify the entire cycle from the production of building materials/ components and the provision of energy through their use to disposal/ reuse of the building into a global sustainable concept. Therefore only substances were fed into this cycle, which could be replaced in the course of their life cycle on earth and/ or biodegraded (RRM) or could be recycled completely (recycros). The renewability and eco-efficiency was therefore also true for the energy use in the close loop.
With the lighthouse project Gugler we demonstrated impressively what is possible today.
The following sub-projects were be developed
- Lead project management
- Building with recycros: – Build with special consideration of recycled materials
- Recycleable constructing: – Development of components and construction methods
- Energy concept Gugler: – 100% plus renewable – process and operating energy synergistically
- Ecoeffective building: – life cycle assessment before, during and after
- Integration cradle to cradle production: Integration of the C2C production into the flagship project
- Integrated General Planning
- Monitoring/evaluation/optimization gugler
