  • Swisspor and Madaster promote circular insulating materials

    Swisspor and Madaster promote circular insulating materials

    According to the press release , the insulation specialist Swisspor AG and Madaster Services Schweiz AG will be working together in the future. The aim is to promote the use of circular insulating materials in construction. With its product and recycling expertise in the field of insulation and sealing, Swisspor, based in Steinhausen, will open up the transition to resource-saving construction, according to the statement.

    Madaster is working on so-called material passports for new and existing buildings. This gives construction waste an identity and can be cataloged and reused as resources to avoid waste. The Madaster service is offered in Switzerland by Madaster Services Switzerland AG in Zurich.

    With Swisspor, the Madaster network will be supplemented with many years of expertise in the development, manufacture and recycling of building products in the field of insulation and sealing, Marloes Fischer, Managing Director of Madaster Services Schweiz AG, is quoted as saying. “Together we can make the medium to long-term increasing volume of insulating materials from demolition and renovation transparent. The goal must be to use as much recyclate as possible for new products.”

    “Swisspor is doing everything it can to increase the recycling rate of insulating and sealing materials,” says Marco Dalla Bona, Managing Director of Swisspor AG. With the Madaster material register, “built-in materials can be traced and later assigned to a new group of uses. If the sector manages to recycle 100 percent recyclable products, we will reduce the use of primary resources to a minimum,” Dalla Bona continues.

  • Second heating network for Steinhausen can be financed

    Second heating network for Steinhausen can be financed

    The construction and operation of a second heating network for the Steinhausen community are economically feasible. This is confirmed by a feasibility study that WWZ Energie and the municipality began a year ago. According to a media release by both actors, their results will be presented to the population on October 20th at 7.30 p.m. in the Steinhausen community hall.

    They show that in large parts of the municipality the prerequisites in terms of energy density and demand for the construction and economic operation of a second and larger network are in place. This is to be operated with regional wood as an energy source.

    The Steinhausen Zentrum heating network has been in operation since 2017. The new network could be linked to this in the medium term as well as to the Ennetsee heating network planned by WWZ. This increases the security of supply and allows efficient dimensioning of the heating center.

    "The heating network, as we are planning it with WWZ, makes a significant contribution to the implementation of the Energy Strategy 2050," said Mayor Hans Staub. In addition, it increases “the attractiveness and quality of life in our community”.

  • “Lindenpark” development: mixed living in the center

    “Lindenpark” development: mixed living in the center

    The area between Erliweg and Birkenhaldenstrasse in Steinhausen is one of the last plots in the village center that can be built on. The landowner Viktor Jans – landlord of the Gasthaus zur Linde – has commissioned the architects Mächler und Töngi from Rotkreuz with the "Lindenpark" development. Since 2020, five buildings have been erected here, arranged in an oval shape. A green space is planned in the middle.

    The tallest building with seven storeys and the largest with 757 square meters is located in the south of the plot on Bahnhofstrasse. 26 apartments are being built here. The buildings are reduced in every dimension towards the north. Houses 2 and 3 still have five floors and houses 4 and 5 have four floors. This is a conscious reaction to the surrounding environment. Thanks to the staggered height, the structures are optimally fitted into the existing picture, and at the same time the tradition of large-scale buildings along Bahnhofstrasse is taken up. The facades are bent several times so that the new buildings appear softer and less angular. In addition, the entire development is given a dynamic movement towards the edge.

    Mostly small apartments are planned. Some larger apartments are intended to create new living space for families. The attic apartments are located in the southern area of the building. In this way they support the sloping movement of the buildings to the north. The project includes 148 parking spaces. A green courtyard with a play and lounge area and an open area with a garden restaurant to the south are planned in the center of the development. Photovoltaic systems on the roofs ensure an environmentally friendly power supply. The facades are uniformly materialized with a glued stone facade with a clinker look. In this way, they blend in harmoniously with the “Dreiklang” development on the opposite side.

    The existing barn, which is located in the south-eastern area of the "Lindenpark", is being converted into a multifunctional cultural space with a restaurant. Further public uses are planned on the ground floor level in the area facing Bahnhofstrasse.
