Glass roof In connection with the renovation project, a glass roof over the courtyard between the two teaching wings has been established. The roofed space reduces heat loss in winter and optimises the indoor air quality in the buildings and courtyard.
Daylight The glass roof provides the courtyard with natural daylight. In addition, new skylights and the new building envelope of glass significantly increase the amount of daylight in the teaching wings.
New building envelope The new building envelope eliminates thermal bridges in the existing, exposed concrete structure. Old windows are replaced with new treble glazing, resulting in a significant improvement of the U-value.
Re-insulation Roofs, gables and ventilation houses have been re-insulated to meet current standards. The re-insulation minimises heat loss and reduces the costs for heating. By moving the ventilation system to the basement – which has a constant temperature – the energy consumption for ventilation is also reduced.
