Naturpark-Informationshaus Zwiesel. Bauen mit Holz - Heizen mit Sonnenenergie Abschlussbericht

An office and exhibition building was constructed at Zwiesel in the Bayerischer Wald mountains. The building is heated by optimized active and passive solar systems and requires no fossil fuels. The active and passive systems were carefully balanced. Regional construction techniques were used, especially for the timbering, and regionally available materials were preferred. Various wooden window systems were tested which all meet the standard for passive buildings. The building has a 110 m"2 solar collector integrated in the southern wall which heats a central buffer store which in turn heats the building in all seasons.SIGLEAvailable from TIB Hannover: F02B1704 / FIZ - Fachinformationszzentrum Karlsruhe / TIB - Technische InformationsbibliothekDeutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, Osnabrueck (Germany)DEGerman
