CLIMATE CEILING – AN IDEAL SOLUTION EVEN IN THE OFFICE

At a glance:
   • location: Schwaz, Tyrol
   • scope: new office building
   • construction period: March to May 2016

Pagitsch's CLIMATE ceiling has proven to be an ideal system for air conditioning rooms. Custom productions and the use of perforated panels offer individual design options – virtually any design can be realized in any size. In addition to offices, the KLIMAceiling is also suitable for particularly sensitive buildings such as hospitals, schools, and restaurants. If required, it can be linked to the innovative "Pagitsch Compact Control" control unit, which allows precise control of individual components, including lighting.

The increased comfort combined with a harmonious, contemporary design benefits companies like NATURABIOMAT. The family business from Schwaz, the Tyrolean district capital, commissioned the construction of one of the most modern office buildings in Austria in 2016. NATURABIOMAT is committed to ecological, plastic-free waste and packaging solutions. The company is known throughout Austria for, among other things, its dog walking system, which consists of a dispenser box for (biodegradable) dog waste bags and a waste bin, and which adorns many parks and walking paths.

A FEEL-GOOD WORK ENVIRONMENT INCREASES PERFORMANCE AND RETENTION

The office building was initiated to create an optimal working environment for employees. This was intended to increase performance, while also strengthening employee loyalty to the company through the resulting feel-good atmosphere, ultimately reducing recruiting costs.

The new company building also perfectly fits the sustainable mission of the organic pioneers. Solar panels were installed to cover the company's own electricity consumption, and rainwater is collected in a deep well for irrigation and wastewater treatment. Deep drilling ensured the building's CO2-neutral heating and cooling. A daily vegetable box from a local farmer for employees is, of course, a must.

PAGITSCH ALSO STRIVES FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE NEUTRALITY

Sustainability is also an important topic in the construction industry; after all, around 40 percent of global CO2 emissions are caused by construction and housing. Pagitsch is aware of this and is committed to the goals of sustainability and climate neutrality. This is achieved specifically by producing and designing Pagitsch products using efficient renewable energy. The "Kinderland" in-house childcare facility also contributes to social sustainability.

OPTIMAL INDOOR CLIMATE IN EVERY SEASON

The collaboration with NATURABIOMAT included the ceiling design. Pagitsch implemented a climate-controlled ceiling that has both a cooling and heating effect, thus ensuring an optimal indoor climate all year round. Thanks to perforated acoustic panels, the ceiling also functions as an acoustic ceiling. But that's not all: Intelligent construction and material selection also ensure air purification. Any additional heating needs are met by a wall heating installation.
