As the new Bauhaus Museum in Germany shows, our technical insulation plays a decisive role in a sustainable air-conditioning concept. The technical insulation of installations is decisive for a sustainable air-conditioning concept. Fire penetration seals were created with ArmaFlex Protect ; impact-prone areas in the plant room and all insulation installed outdoors were clad with Okabell.

Unique in its implementation is the specially developed air-flow routing of the gas engine heat pumps. Impossible to install the generation plantoutdoors at the site, instead it was erected in the technical services tower of the Weimarhalle opposite.
