HAELEN, The Netherlands, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Le nouveau siège social du fabricant de sécheurs et de refroidisseurs Geelen Counterflow, situé à Haelen aux Pays-Bas, est le bureau le plus écologique au monde. Il a obtenu un score de 99,94 % selon la méthode d'évaluation de la performance environnementale des bâtiments développée par le BRE (BREEAM).

Le bâtiment, qui peut accueillir 50 employés de bureau, génère 50% plus d'énergie solaire que ce dont il est nécessaire pour assurer le chauffage, la climatisation, l'éclairage et le fonctionnement des ordinateurs. L'énergie supplémentaire est utilisée dans l'usine pour le découpage au laser de l'acier inoxydable et pour le rechargement électrique des chariots élévateurs.

Les matériaux de construction sont certifiés « Cradle to Cradle » lorsque cela est possible, ce qui signifie qu'ils ne causent pas de dommages à l'environnement et qu'ils peuvent être réutilisés ou recyclés après utilisation. Le bâtiment est construit à partir de matériaux en bois, considérés comme ayant l'empreinte CO2 la plus basse parmi les matériaux de construction.

L'architecture est optimisée pour la santé et la productivité des employés par le biais d'un contrôle de la pénétration de la lumière du jour, de la qualité de l'air et de l'éclairage intérieur, et par l'utilisation de matériaux sains.

Un jardin naturel a été créé autour du bâtiment, en utilisant toute une variété de plantes et fleurs endémiques. L'aménagement paysager comprend également des lieux de nidification pour les oiseaux, les insectes, les chauves-souris et les amphibiens.

Sander Geelen, directeur général de Geelen Counterflow a déclaré : « Dans notre quête perpétuelle de construire les meilleurs sécheurs et refroidisseurs pour les aliments et les engrais, nous appliquons les lois de la nature concernant la gravité, l'aérodynamisme et la thermodynamique. De ce fait, lorsque nous construisons de nouveaux bureaux, il nous semble plus que naturel de respecter ces lois mais également les limites que la nature nous donne. Ce bureau est une nouvelle étape dans notre cheminement vers une élimination totale de l'utilisation des énergies fossiles. La prochaine phase sera de développer une nouvelle génération de sécheurs qui utiliseront uniquement des énergies renouvelables. »

Le bureau a été conçu par Architecten en Bouwmeesters. La supervision de la construction a été assurée par Wagemans Bouwadvies. Les installations techniques ont été développées par Dubourgraaf et M. Ad van de Ven a été désigné comme expert BREEAM-NL.

La BREEAM est la plus importante méthode d'évaluation au monde des performances environnementales des bâtiments et des projets. Il y a plus de 540 700 projets certifiés BREEAM dans le monde. Aux Pays-Bas, la méthode est gérée par le Dutch Green Building Council.

Geelen Counterflow développe et fabrique des sécheurs et refroidisseurs à contre-courant pour l'industrie alimentaire humaine et animale. Les 100 employés de la société fournissent des équipements pour l'industrie alimentaire humaine (comme le café, les cornflakes et les croûtons) et animale (bétail, poissons, animaux de compagnie). Des bureaux de vente et de services sont situés aux Pays-Bas, aux États-Unis, en Argentine et en Chine.
