The Waldau Building
1'500 solar panels
The design of Waldau and its utilities had the primary goal of using as little energy as possible, drawing power mainly from the 1,500 solar panels on the roof of the building.
With this state-of-the-art photovoltaic system, we are self-sufficient and generate around 70% of the building’s energy needs when working at maximum capacity. During the hours when production is closed, the energy generated by the building is supplied to the city of Rüti.
Furthermore, more than 1960 meters cubed of concrete (410 tons of CO2) have been saved in the construction of the foundations and the building has been constructed using the innovative Cobiax method, one of the best and most eco-sustainable insulation methods on the planet.
Nature inside the building
It should come as no surprise to anyone, that our architects and interior designers strove to bring nature inside the building to create an ideal working environment in every way.
Intelligent lighting and air control
In addition, the building uses intelligent lighting and air control to produce a dynamic, energy-saving lighting and air system. It is also equipped with energy monitoring devices to ensure that consumption remains sustainable.
Charging stations
Finally, The building has charging stations for bicycles and electric cars completing what is now called: “An eco-sustainable and intelligent building”.
