First energy self-sufficient house in Switzerland: shell is completed
Switzerland's first energy self-sufficient house is well on its way and has now celebrated its topping-out ceremony.
In Brütten ZH, the world's first solar-powered multi-family house, which does not require an external connection for electricity, oil or natural gas, is celebrating its topping-out ceremony. The lighthouse project, which Umwelt Arena Spreitenbach is realizing together with several exhibition partners, shows that the implementation of the Energy Strategy 2050 is already possible today.
"We rely on the four S's 'collect', 'store', 'save', 'care'", explains architect René Schmid, the principle of the world's first energy self-sufficient apartment building. This means that energy must first be collected, then stored, saved and very consciously consumed.
The Environment Arena has simultaneously realized a new exhibition "Energy self-sufficient apartment house". A 3D large-scale model shows the construction and presents the technical solutions. Energie Schweiz supports the project in terms of communication. For example, a series of information brochures explains the various components of the energy self-sufficient MFH. In themed tours focusing on the "Energy Self-Sufficient Multi-Family House", visitors gain in-depth insight into the building technology, the challenges and the solutions. Themed tours can be booked for groups via fuehrungen@umweltarena.ch.
