The Treurenberg-project is Brussels first "Net-Zero Energy"-building. VK is in charge of the energy engineering and the building services of this 12,000 sq. m. project.
The energetic concept was developed from the first design stage onwards, based on specialised dynamic simulations. As a result, the net energy needs could be determined under optimal circumstances. The high performance building services consist, amongst others, of cogeneration, perfectly architecturally integrated photovoltaic solar panels, and optimally regulated lighting, ventilation and comfort with regard to the atrium.
All of these applications minimize the energy consumption in order to realise a "Net-Zero Energy Building" and to get a BREEAM "Excellent" assessment.
