Energy concept – energy demand reduced by 40 percent

Real estate owners an investors benefit from enery efficient buildings tremendously by charging higher rents (exluding heating bills) while additional costs remain below average constantly.

With the Duisburg Eurogate's energy strategy, 40 percent of the energy demand in comparison to conventional constructions can be saved. These immense savings in operating costs are being achieved, amongst others, through:

7.500 square meters photo-voltaic tiles on the building's outer shell
the usaege of the harbou's water as thermo- and heat reservoir
energy efficiency by means of optimised proportion of windows
concrete structures serving as recuperators
economisation of aeration operating power through natural ventilation.

The positive balance of constructional additional effort in relation to guaranteed energy savings will already be reached after a utilisation period of 9 years.
