HAELEN, Niederlande, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Die neue Zentrale des Trockner- und Kühlerherstellers Geelen Counterflow in Haelen in den Niederlanden ist das umweltfreundlichste Büro der Welt; es erreicht 99,94 % der Punkte nach dem BREEAM-Zertifizierungssystem.

Das Gebäude für 50 Büroangestellte produziert 50 % mehr Solarenergie als es zum Heizen, für die Klimaanlage, für die Beleuchtung und die Computer braucht. Die überschüssige Energie wird in der Fabrik zum Laserschneiden von Edelstahl und Wiederaufladen der elektrischen Gabelstapler genutzt.

Wo auch immer möglich, sind die Baumaterialien „Cradle to Cradle“-zertifiziert; das bedeutet, dass sie die Umwelt nicht schädigen und nach Ende der Nutzungsdauer wiederverwertet werden können. Das Gebäude wurde aus Holz erbaut; denn Holz gilt als das Baumaterial mit der geringsten CO2-Belastung.

Das Design ist optimal gestaltet, um die Gesundheit und Produktivität der Mitarbeiter durch einfallendes Tageslicht, gute Luftqualität und Innenbeleuchtung sowie die Verwendung gesunder Materialien zu fördern.

Um das Bürogebäude wurde ein Naturgarten mit einer Vielzahl von einheimischen Pflanzen und Blumen angelegt. Zur Gartengestaltung gehören auch Nistplätze für Vögel, Käfer, Fledermäuse und Amphibien.

Sander Geelen ist der Managing Director von Geelen Counterflow: "Bei unseren unerschöpflichen Bemühungen, die besten Trockner und Kühlgeräte für Futter- und Lebensmittel herzustellen, machen wir uns die Naturgesetze der Gravitation, Aerodynamik und Thermodynamik zunutze. Wenn wir also ein neues Bürogebäude bauen, ist es sinnvoll, dabei ebenfalls diese Gesetze und Grenzen der Natur zu respektieren. Dieses Bürogebäude ist ein weiterer Schritt auf unserem Weg zum schrittweisen Ausgliedern fossiler Brennstoffe. Der nächste Schritt wird darin bestehen, eine neue Generation von Trocknern zu entwickeln, die nur noch erneuerbare Energie nutzen."

Das Bürogebäude wurde vom Architektenbüro Architecten en Bouwmeesters entworfen. Die Bauleitung führte Wagemans Bouwadvies. Die technischen Installationen wurden von Dubourgraaf gestaltet und Ad van de Ven war als BREEAM-NL-Experte tätig.

BREEAM ist die weltweit führende Methode zur Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierung von Gebäuden und Projekten. Auf der ganzen Welt gibt es mehr als 540.700 BREEAM-zertifizierte Entwicklungen. In den Niederlanden wird das System vom "Niederländischen Rat für umweltfreundliche Bauen" (Dutch Green Building Council) verwaltet.

Geelen Counterflow entwickelt und produziert Gegenstromtrockner und Kühler für die Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelindustrien. Zusammen mit 100 Mitarbeitern produziert das Unternehmen Anlagen zur Produktion von Nahrungsmitteln (wie Kaffee, Cornflakes und Croutons) sowie von Futtermitteln für Nutztiere, für die Aquakultur und für Haustiere. Das Unternehmen unterhält Vertriebs- und Kundendienstbüros in den Niederlanden, den USA, Argentinien und China.
