    Illnau-Effretikon and Energie 360° agree on energy network

    With a large-scale energy network, the city of Illnau-Effretikon wants to rapidly advance the transformation from fossil-fuelled heating systems to renewable energies, according to a media release. For the implementation of the plans and the subsequent operation, the city is relying on cooperation with Energie 360°. On 1 July, the city and the energy provider signed a cooperation agreement to this effect, as the city now informs.

    The preliminary project has been planned and developed with high priority since the beginning of the year. The first heat deliveries should take place in a few years. Until then, Energie 360° will be able to provide property owners with interim solutions in case the heating system breaks down prematurely.

    For the Vogelbuck and Watt areas, Energie 360° intends to operate the energy network from regionally available energy sources. According to the press release, the city council also plans to connect individual larger properties in the extended supply area to the energy network. The Bruggwiesen old people’s and care centre and the town hall are cited as examples. In principle, this option is also open to private heat consumers in the extended supply area.

    Property owners and commercial enterprises in the catchment area of the planned energy network should be given planning security for the district heating connection as soon as possible. According to the city, it will therefore always provide information on the results of the preliminary project as soon as they are available.

  • Avobis builds business location in Hombrechtikon

    Avobis builds business location in Hombrechtikon

    The industrial area in Hombrechtikon’s Eichtal Park is taking its next step in site development: from 2024, the Avobis Group and its two companies Avobis and Rimaplan will build the new OakTec business location there. Around 29,000 square metres of land and 20,000 square metres of usable space will be available for commercial and production operations. An information event will be held on 15 June in Hombrechtikon’s small community hall.

    According to a press release, the concept is based on the idea of offering companies attractive, well-lit and flexibly divisible space. Access and deliveries are possible from an inner courtyard on two accessible levels. This is evidence of a “particularly economical use of land”.

    In general, the building is planned in a sustainable manner, according to David Belart, the client’s representative: “By carefully embedding the building in the terrain, the excavation volume is reduced, all roof surfaces are either greened or use solar energy, the entire energy concept is based on renewable energies, and the green belt in which the site is integrated promotes biodiversity

    Municipal President Rainer Odermatt is behind the project: “We support ‘OakTec’ and would like to further strengthen the Eichtal Park as an important generator of jobs in the region. To this end, we offer an attractive infrastructure and, together with the VZO, very good transport connections.”

    According to information, the project planning work for the building application is currently underway. In addition, according to Avobis, there are currently considerations for a further investment programme on the sub-areas further to the east with the striking existing buildings. They are to be further developed in a sustainable manner.
