Sustainability
PLTFRM is designed to be as self-sufficient as possible. It reduces the amount of off-site energy needed to run the building by two thirds, leaving just 34,5 kWh/ sqm.
Energy is recovered from a waste water duct (with a heat exchanger) and with the help of a heat pump to heat and cool occupied areas, thanks to an innovative collaboration with the municipal water supplier, Berliner Wasserbetriebe. 20% of the building’s electricity (10.5 kWh/sqm) is locally produced and will come from 2830 m² of roof and façade solar panels
