AN INTEGRATED CONCEPT FOR HEATING,
COOLING AND ELECTRICITY GENERATION.
UmweltHaus is planned with an integrated energy system combining several technologies. Photovoltaic systems on the façade and roof generate electricity from solar energy, while geothermal energy and heat pumps provide heating and cooling. These are complemented by a biomass combined heat and power unit and a gas-fired peak-load boiler.
Automated control of the external solar shading and daylight-dependent lighting controls are intended to further reduce energy demand.
“We don’t build for trends,
but for generations.”

Highlights
According to the energy calculation by EGS-Plan, geothermal energy is expected to cover around 63% of the calculated energy demand during planned operation and is supported by the operation of the heat pumps powered by the photovoltaic façade.
The energy concept was taken into account as part of the DGNB Platinum pre-certification.
In addition, the building supports electric mobility through Bayernwerk charging points for electric vehicles, which are available to both employees and visitors.
The project received the “Special Award for Innovation” at the IHK Real Estate Award Middle Franconia 2025 in recognition of its innovative approach and integrated concept.
