Summary

Starting point / motivation

The future orientated energy autonomous office park ArcheNEO close to Kitzbühel has been developed as an integrated ecological project from the very beginning.The main target is a concept which produces more energy than it needs. The produced energy comes from local renewable energy sources and is combined with batteries in case of need.

Contents and goals

The energy production of the ArcheNEO with 5.700 m2 office space is higher than the yearly consumption. The plus of the produced energy is used for electric vehicles. The forecast of consumption per year is 209.000 kWh, the predicted production of energy is 226.750 kWh. The difference is equivalent to 100.000 km driving with electric cars.

The goal is to achieve a building with no need of external energy and no CO2 emissions. This is realised without any loss of comfort for the users and is multiplicable at every other place worldwide.

The building is made of local wood which was moon cutted on special days of the year. The timber construction is without any glue and chemicals. The full amount of wood, which is needed for the whole building, grows again in 42 minutes in the Austrian forests.

Methods of treatment

The development of the building is a concept which includes all parts of the construction, especially with a focus of architectual integration of renewable energies.

Expected results / conclusions

One part of the concept is to install a monitoring system. It allows to analyse the energy consumption and production. This longtime measurement is the base for projects in the future. The partner institute for this is the Ökologieinstitut Wien.
