“Thermal refurbishment” doesn’t sound spectacular. But the example of the ‘Gerhard Swarovski building’ in Brixlegg shows, that it can be an exciting challenge. It has a completely new architectural appearance. And the economical key data are amazing – due to the active Heliopan High Energy façade up to 75 % energy costs can be saved and a pay back period of 8 years achieved. Technical highlights • 200 m² Heliopan High Energy Panels (solar thermal energy is supporting the heating system) • Replacement of about 1600 m² glass façade: double glazing is changed to triple glazing (U-value = 0.6 W/m²K) • Replacement of the conventional oil heating system to a high efficient water heat pump with depth drilling
