The 12-storey re-development will comply with the EC 55 standard following the introduction of the new sustainability measures designed to ensure energy consumption remains at 45 per cent below that of comparable conventional newbuilds.
The PRISMA development is already considered one of the greenest office buildings in Germany, and is used primarily as office space offering flexible configurations A gym and restaurant which will both be open to the general public are also planned.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are currently being installed alongside energy-efficient building controls, with an innovative rainwater management system collecting water for toilet flushing uses. An innovative HVAC system ensures optimum air quality while reducing energy consumption.
