  • Building program has a record year

    Building program has a record year

    2020 was a record year for the federal and cantonal building program. A total of CHF 299 million has been paid out for renovation and new construction projects, more than in any previous year, according to a federal media release.

    Of this, 119 million francs went to thermal insulation projects. At 72 million francs, system renovations make up the second largest share. This involves extensive renovation of the building envelope, which can be combined, for example, with renovation of the heating systems. Around 62 million francs in funding have been awarded for projects relating to heating changes, solar and ventilation systems. In these projects, known as building services, an increase of 65 percent was achieved compared to the previous year.

    The building program also has successes in terms of climate protection and employment. The measures funded in 2020 will save 5.7 million kilowatt hours of electricity and 1.4 million tons of CO2 over the entire service life. However, since the subsidy rates were increased compared to 2019, the proportion of francs paid out per ton of CO2 saved rose from 205 francs to 207 francs. The employment effect is 2,100 full-time equivalents, the additional domestic added value is 88 million francs.

  • Hilcona creates a meadow on the roof

    Hilcona creates a meadow on the roof

    Hilcona has created a 1200 square meter roof meadow on the first completed new building at the company’s headquarters in Schaan. According to a press release, the roofs of the five-year expansion will also be planted in an “ecologically valuable” way. “The green areas provide more infiltration areas than concrete-sealed areas, relieve the sewage system and offer essential protection against heavy rain events,” says the Head of Technical Service, Peter Ritzer, in explanation.

    As Hilcona further explains, green roofs are able to hold back and store water. Therefore, when building the new company building, care was taken to seal as little area as possible. They also absorb pollutants such as CO2 and clean water and air. On the other hand, the water on sealed surfaces such as conventional roofs, tar and concrete surfaces immediately drains into the sewer system and onto open floors. That causes floods and floods. The green roofs could cushion this.

    In addition, they heat up less than gravel roofs, for example. They are also more durable and easy to care for. “With the roof meadow we want to give back as much as possible to nature,” says Ritzer.

  • KREIS house in Feldbach opens

    KREIS house in Feldbach opens

    An open day will take place on September 4th to mark the opening of the KREIS House . From 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Synergy Village in Feldbach, on which the research project of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences ( ZHAW ) is located, is accessible to all interested parties.

    Efficient resource-to build the climate and sufficiency building was in May this year started . With this project, the ZHAW Department of Life Sciences and Facility Management ( LSFM ) wants to show how circular economy can be implemented on a reduced living space of 40 square meters. As the ZHAW writes in its invitation, everything in this house is in circulation – from the building materials to the nutrients from the wastewater for fertilizing the roof garden.

    Research is constantly developing new, recyclable technologies, materials and concepts for use in buildings, according to the LSFM project description. But the path from basic research to broad application is a long one. Therefore, the KREIS house is providing a room to try out these new technologies and materials. With their feedback, visitors contribute to improving it.

    In future, the ZHAW will be offering regular visits. They can be viewed online, as can dates for regular workshops on specific cycle issues. The overnight stays in the KREIS Haus are currently fully booked. The LSFM is also available for individual and cycle-oriented construction advice.
