Sustainability Report

The first phase of a cohesive educational hub in Germany by Spiecker Sautter Lauer Architekten

Embodied carbon

Sustainability overview

The project involves a transformation, modernisation, and redensification of the Blumberg school campus, integrating all existing buildings. Phase one is a newly constructed detached building. Phase 2 is the renovation and extension of existing buildings.
All buildings on the campus are connected to a local heating network powered by an on-site cogeneration plant.
The green roof is equipped with a photovoltaic system with a capacity of approximately 95 kWp.

Operational Emissions / Energy

The new building’s envelope complies with high insulation standards. The facade consists of wooden cladding on rigid wood fibre insulation boards and windows with triple glazing. The roof is constructed as a green roof on sloped insulation.

Afterlife

Adaptive Reuse and Flexible Design Considerations

The curtain-wall wooden cladding and wood fibre insulation boards can be disassembled when worn out. The concrete construction of the load-bearing structure remains unaffected and can be repurposed.
