    New orders in Germany strengthen building construction business

    Implenia has landed contracts for building construction in Germany with a volume of more than 200 million euros. According to a press release, the projects are “in line with the Group’s strategic focus on large and challenging property projects that require extensive expertise and many years of experience”.

    On behalf of project developer and asset manager Rock Capital Group, the construction group will act as general contractor in Munich-Neuhausen, transforming the approximately one-hectare Bruckmann Quartier on Nymphenburgerstrasse into a high-quality office quarter. A combination of new construction and modernisation will create 28,000 square metres of office floor space in a prime central location. Individual parts of the building will be newly constructed, historic components will be modernised, one building will be extended and another will have a listed façade. Construction is due to start in 2025.

    In Brandenburg, Implenia is constructing a new administration building as the technical leader in a joint venture with GP Papenburg, a comprehensive school in the Ruhr region and a six-court sports hall with functional buildings for two grammar schools in Frankfurt am Main. All three new buildings will be handed over on a turnkey basis.

    Implenia is once again active at the Mainz customs harbour. The Group is now realising the Rheinwiesen living project for the project company of BWL Wohnungsbaugesellschaft and Volksbank Darmstadt. It consists of five five-storey residential buildings with an unobstructed view of the Rhine. Implenia has also been commissioned to construct a senior citizens’ residential complex in Magdeburg and an exhibition and sales building for the Stark Group in Nuremberg.

  • Foundation stone for the international Renera Group

    Foundation stone for the international Renera Group

    Since its foundation, Energie Zukunft Schweiz has been committed to the rapid implementation of the energy transition. The company specialises in renewable energies and energy efficiency. in 2022, its Italian subsidiary sold a 375 MWp photovoltaic project pipeline to one of Europe’s largest energy suppliers. “The energy transition is a global project, so it was always clear that we wanted to take our energy transition know-how beyond our Swiss borders and into other countries,” says Managing Director Aeneas Wanner.

    In order to make better use of synergies between the national companies and to take better account of internationalisation, the companies are now reorganising as an internationally active group with headquarters in Switzerland under a common name. In line with the dawning era of renewables, the group of companies will be called “Renera”. The energy trading and biogas division is the first to change. For employees and customers, the reorganisation has positive consequences, says Aeneas Wanner: “All services will be continued and expanded in the usual quality. Due to the high demand, we will continue to create many new jobs and maintain all existing ones. “

    A single strong corporate brand for all operations in Europe will be built and maintained. The new brand strategy is intended to bring employees closer together, reduce complexity for customers and create synergies between national companies and business units. To support the positioning visually, a new logo and corporate design were developed in cooperation with a Spanish branding agency.

    Aeneas Wanner explains why the company is growing so successfully: “Our recipe for success is our talented and committed employees. Thanks to them, projects become reality that are profitable for clients and the environment at the same time.” The company is known for its hands-on mentality, and its employees describe themselves as “energy turnaround makers”. “Companies from the energy and real estate sectors appreciate our holistic approach and our diverse know-how. We can not only think up and plan complex energy projects, we can also accompany their implementation and subsequently monitor the results.” Aeneas Wanner is also very optimistic about the future. The demand for energy efficiency and renewable energies is enormous right now. The desire for clean, reliable energy and high energy prices have contributed to this. “We have now grown from 40 to 200 employees in just under four years, and we will probably create another 500 jobs in the next four years.” This is the only way the company can realise its vision of being a leading force on the path to a fully renewable energy world.

  • BIM data help with raw material shortages and material shortages

    BIM data help with raw material shortages and material shortages

    With the increasing degree of digitization, the chances of the construction industry anchoring their solutions in the plans of the architects and thus being advertised as a lead product more often increase. In addition, information about availability and delivery times can be added more easily. However, according to BIM expert Matthias Uhl, the degree of digitization in the construction industry is still lagging behind other sectors, depending on the size of the company. “BIM represents one of the greatest opportunities of the last decades. From the design to the operation of the building, processes and steps can be mapped more efficiently, cheaply and transparently. But building material manufacturers now have to digitally prepare and provide their data for this,” states Uhl, who has developed a BIM solution for manufacturers with BIM & More Orchestra. He gives three reasons why manufacturers now have to prepare their product portfolio digitally and provide planners and architects with BIM data.

    Firstly, the construction and real estate industries are already digital
    The degree of digitization of the large construction and real estate companies in Germany has reached a significant level in the past two years. The big players in the industry such as Drees & Sommer, Goldbeck or ZECH together make up a large proportion of the total planning volume. They have now become so digitized that they are increasingly dependent on digital products. “Out of necessity, they fall back on the products that are available in the leading planning programs with the appropriate level of detail,” explains Uhl. Building material manufacturers must realize that they only exist in the digital cosmos if they are digitally visible. Especially in view of the delivery and material bottlenecks, digital visibility is more important than ever for planners to check prices and availability beyond technical specifications.

    Second: All future trends have a digital component
    Construction methods and trends are increasingly developing out of digitalization. Uhl: “Whether modular construction, sustainability or prefabrication: all relevant ideas have a digital component. Without digitization in planning and implementation, it doesn’t work at all.” This also suggests that manufacturers now have to deliver their data digitally if they want to participate in the megatrends or want to shape them. With the amount of data, the possible combinations increase for planners and offices, with which not only new structural solutions can be found. In addition, alternatives become visible in the event of other unavailabilities.
    “Let’s take a look at the sustainability megatrend using the example of the Building Circularity Passport in the coalition agreement,” says Uhl, giving another example from climate protection. With the Building Circularity Passport, the federal government has anchored the topic of circular economy as a mandatory element for the future in the coalition agreement. Only access to transparent product information allows consideration of recyclability. The circular economy does not work without information on the material composition, manufacturing method, service life, repairability and recycling options of the products. “Product information forms the basis for a transition to a circular economy,” says Uhl. There are no laws yet, but they will come soon. The first municipalities in Germany want to introduce the Building Circularity Passport for their new buildings, regardless of the legislation. Any new school, kindergarten or office building will require products whose recyclability has been assessed, calculated and certified.

    Third: the complexity of the planning processes is increasing and with it the need for data
    Another reason for the provision of BIM data: The requirements for planning processes and thus for planners in terms of verification and calculations are becoming more and more complex. Planners and architects are therefore increasingly open to support from industry. “While today evidence of circular economy plays an increasingly important role, it used to be physical building requirements such as energy consumption, for example in the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV), in passive house calculations or energy-plus house concepts. These topics require a new level of data volume and information quality on the part of the planner,” explains Uhl. This need would continue to grow. This circumstance also requires the industry to make data available digitally now. “Product information from the industry has never been more popular than it is today. It has never been easier for manufacturers to gain acceptance from planners,” sums up the BIM data expert.

  • Energy efficiency makes buildings more economical

    Energy efficiency makes buildings more economical

    Nowhere else is so much energy consumed as in the building sector. In Europe, around 40 percent of final energy consumption and 36 percent of greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to this sector. With its Smart Buildings technologies, Talkpool AG is helping to make buildings more energy-efficient. For example, via intelligent sensors that can be used to automatically control and optimize the indoor air and climate. “Our technology not only helps to significantly reduce the energy requirements of buildings, but also saves the corresponding costs,” says Aurelius Wosylus, Group Chief Commercial Officer at Talkpool AG. He refers to the rapidly increasing energy prices and advises building operators to tackle the problem now.

    In Germany alone there are 21 million buildings, of which around 19 million are residential buildings and around 2 million non-residential buildings. Together they consumed around 865 terawatt hours (TWh) of energy in 2019. At 76 percent, by far the largest part is accounted for by space heating (658 TWh). Even back in 2019, i.e. before the energy price shock, the costs for space heating, hot water and lighting in buildings in Germany amounted to an estimated 73 billion euros. Although the final energy consumption in the building sector has fallen slightly in recent years, it is not to the extent that would be necessary to achieve the climate targets. This is also due to the fact that around a third of the buildings in Germany and Europe are more than 50 years old. Older buildings in particular often only have inadequate HVAC systems. HVAC stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning and refers to the various systems in a building responsible for heat regulation, indoor comfort and air quality.

    Convincing solutions for saving energy in buildings

    The international company, headquartered in Chur, Switzerland, has developed solutions with which energy and cost savings of 10 to 25 percent can be achieved in existing HVAC systems. Aurelius Wosylus explains the technology behind it: “Our wireless room climate sensors form the basis. After they have been installed in the building, these monitor the various parameters such as room heat and air quality in real time.” This input goes to a self-learning control algorithm via an Internet gateway. According to Wosylus, the AI also accesses external data, such as the weather situation or the development of energy tariffs. “In this way, the AI controls the HVAC system in a constant improvement process to maximize indoor climate quality and optimize energy consumption.”

    The system is already installed in buildings with a total area of more than one million square meters. With consistently good results. As an example, Wosylus cites a hotel and office project in Sweden with an area of around 25,000 square meters. “Our analysis shows that not only has the air quality and thus the feel-good factor improved significantly, but also the energy consumption for the heating and cooling systems has been reduced by between 20 and 25 percent.” It didn’t even take a year, he says Wosylus until the project has recouped its costs for the building operator.

  • Largest wood module factory in Germany

    Largest wood module factory in Germany

    Renggli Deutschland GmbH is a joint venture between the four shareholders Renggli AG, Saxovent Smart Eco Investments GmbH, Sächsische Ärzteversorgung (SAEV) and MQ Real Estate GmbH. Renggli AG is committed to providing know-how and expertise. The new plant is being built in Eberswalde (state of Brandenburg), around 40 kilometers from the Berlin city limits. In February 2022, the purchase contract for the land of the production facility was signed. Construction will start in the third quarter of 2022 and completion is scheduled for the end of 2023. From 2024, wooden modules for sustainable and climate-friendly, multi-storey buildings will be manufactured in the modern plant on a production area of around 20,000 square meters.

    Great potential in Germany

    In the greater Berlin area, there is great potential for serially and industrially manufactured wooden modules. In modular construction, entire room units are prefabricated in the production plant and assembled on the construction site. Today, modular buildings meet all the requirements of modern and sustainable real estate and offer a solution for the realization of attractive, affordable and climate-friendly living space. Samuel Renggli says: “We want to meet the high demand for timber construction capacities in the Berlin/Brandenburg area as needed and thus make a significant contribution to resource-friendly and climate-neutral construction. With the performance of this modern production plant, we meet the high standards of quality, efficiency and reliability.»

    Market development in Germany – further development in Switzerland

    The investment is the consistent strategic further development of activities in Germany and is based on Renggli AG’s long-term business plan. The commitment in Germany will not affect the activities in Switzerland. As planned, Renggli AG will continue to strengthen its market position in Switzerland and invest in the digitization and further development of the company in parallel to its expansion in Germany. In the production plant in Schötz (LU), Renggli AG continues to realize industrially manufactured, high-quality and climate-friendly buildings in element and modular construction. It thus serves the demand from Switzerland for architecturally sophisticated, multi-storey wooden buildings for housing developments, office and commercial buildings or kindergartens and schools.

  • Hybrid buildings made of wood have a future

    Hybrid buildings made of wood have a future

    Mr. Wappner, wood is one of the oldest building materials in Central Europe. We all know stilt houses or medieval half-timbered houses. Nowadays, however, wooden buildings are rare. Since when has wood been forgotten, especially in the urban context of construction, and why?

    It is correct: the building material wood was used much more frequently for the construction of buildings in the past. This is mainly due to the fact that wood has always been available in sufficient quantities in our Central European regions – also because the climatic conditions in Germany and many other European countries favor rapid regrowth. Due to the enormous effort in building in the past centuries, craftsmen over many generations have developed excellent knowledge and skills to deal with this material in an increasingly creative, skilful and efficient way. We still benefit from that today.

    Especially in the urban context, however, wood fell into oblivion in the course of industrialization from the middle of the 19th century or received industrially manufactured competition as a building material. Machine-made building materials such as brick or concrete were increasingly preferred. Because they could be produced cheaper, faster and in large quantities. In addition, many of our cities used to be built entirely of wood and have burned down several times in their history. Wood was therefore anchored in people’s minds as a source of danger. Structural fire protection in connection with dense inner-city development has always been an issue in urban planning. In contrast, in the industrial age, more fire-resistant building materials provided better safety evidence and thus more trust among people. This is one of the reasons why industrial building materials have increasingly replaced wood, especially in European urban planning.

    How do you explain the current boom in timber construction?

    The timber construction boom was clearly triggered by the growing ecological awareness in society. Wood is so attractive as a building material because we work with a renewable, resource-saving and circular raw material. With wood we can store CO 2 in buildings and thus counteract the energy-intensive production of other building materials and their use with a sustainable and environmentally friendly statement. The CO 2 balance of wood is unbeatably good compared to other building materials. But wood is not infinitely available, so we have to use the resources wisely.

    The current boom is also made possible by extensive research in recent years – especially in regions such as Vorarlberg, Graubünden or South Tyrol, but also in the Black Forest and the Allgäu. Today we have a great deal of knowledge about the material, which is paired with the centuries-old handed-down craftsmanship experience. There are now excellent opportunities to optimally test the load-bearing capacity and fire resistance of wood in long-term tests.

    Digitization plays another major role. CNC technology and other technical revolutions were a real quantum leap here. Thanks to the technically based use of machines, wood can now be processed and pre-produced down to the millimeter. This then happens directly in a workshop, where the components can be prefabricated in the dry and some can already be assembled. This high degree of prefabrication of modular wooden elements saves a lot of time and money.

    As a result of all these developments, wood as a building material has become very exciting again in recent years – and trust in the material has grown enormously. In addition, wood also has many other advantages that people appreciate: it smells good, looks familiar and feels pleasant.

  • ACRON acquires certified sustainable office property in Leudelange, Luxembourg

    ACRON acquires certified sustainable office property in Leudelange, Luxembourg

    “With our participation in the fully rented office building WOODEN, designed according to the ecological state of the art, we are offering German investors, among others, a direct investment in a sustainable property. By investing in this project, investors have the best prospects for a stable and promising investment," says Kai Bender, Managing Director of ACRON GmbH.

    Wooden SA is the owner of the WOODEN office property, whose floor space of 9,462 m² is fully let to renowned financial companies. Among other things, the building will house the headquarters of Bâloise Assurances Luxembourg. The Baloise leases around 82 percent of the total floor space for up to 15 years. The remaining 18 percent will be used by the CLE (Compagnie Luxembourgeoise d'Entreprises) until at least the end of 2028.

    The first wooden office building of this size in Luxembourg is a "pioneer project" at a desirable location in Leudelange. The growing importance and rapid development have already made Leudelange the most important conurbation in Luxembourg and one of the top locations for real estate in the country.

    The tenants are expected to be able to move into their office space from the end of 2022.

    This investment opportunity is open to semi-professional and professional investors from Germany via ACRON LUX REAL ESTATE I SCS (ISIN: LU2399210942), which was founded specifically for this purpose. After the investment in this club deal has been fully placed with 10 to 15 investors, the composition of the group of investors will probably not change until the exit. The company's goal is to develop WOODEN, hold and manage the property and later sell it for a profit.

    BREEAM is the world's leading certification system for sustainable construction, which includes the entire life cycle of buildings – from new construction to use and maintenance. WOODEN was rated "BREEAM Excellent". The WELL Building Standard was developed to promote health and well-being in buildings worldwide. The types of wood used in the property come exclusively from sustainable forestry from PEFC-certified forests in the greater Luxembourg area. For every tree felled, one or two new ones are planted.

    Repower is investing in German wind farms with partners

    At the beginning of the year, Repower expanded its portfolio of wind turbines in Germany, the Graubünden energy supplier informed in apress release . Specifically, Repower has taken over the Berlar wind farm in North Rhine-Westphalia. The plant with five turbines and a total output of 7.5 megawatts is expected to produce around 14.4 gigawatt hours of electricity annually. The notification does not provide any information about the purchase price.

    According to the announcement, the Graubünden energy supplier already operates a number of wind farms in Italy and Germany. The new acquisition is to be integrated into the German Repartner Wind GmbH. The company is wholly owned by Bündner Repartner Produktions AG , which is 51 percent majority owned by Repower. The trucks hold the largest minority share with 10.39 percent.

    Via Repartner Produktions AG, Repower wants to offer its shareholders “access to diversified, renewable electricity production”, according to the announcement. In addition to Repower and LKW, other Swiss energy companies are involved in Repartner Produktions AG, including Eniva, WWZ and the electricity works of the Canton of Zurich (EKZ).

    “This stake is an absolute gain for LKW,” said Gerald Marxer, CEO of LKW, in a separate announcement from LKW on the takeover of the wind farm. "On the one hand, we can increase our own production and, on the other hand, we are investing in renewable production technologies in accordance with our strategy."
