New ecological headquarters building in Mainz

In summer 2010 a new main administrative building will be built at the Mainz headquarters - and we will pay particular attention to the environmental impact of this new building.
This building’s energy generation will equal its consumption - and perhaps even exceed it.
This will be achieved by taking a similar approach already used with the Frosch brand. Instead of investing large sums into the perfection of one good feature, we pay attention to promoting as many components of environmental conservation as possible. In doing this, we should achieve an outstanding overall result.
A Sustainable Energy Concept for an Administrative Building (only in german available)
Our new building features:
- A good thermal insulation of the façade
- The use of geothermal energy with a geothermal power facility
- The use of solar energy through photovoltaic systems on the roof of the building
- 16 small wind turbines will provide the entire power requirement of the geothermal facility pumps
