#E LEITZ WETZLAR KONTAKT GENERATOR#

The generator system, consisting of absorber, CHP plants, condensing boiler, refrigeration machines and a thermal pump is managed with a controller specially designed for the project. Two-thirds of the energy is generated from CHP plants and one third from the thermal pump.

The building has been awarded the European Union's Green Building Certificate and has received gold DGNB prequalification. The team under project manager Jürgen Drolshagen came up with an energy concept that would reduce energy consumption by 46.4% compared with the requirements of EnEV 2009. The energy concept designed by engineers HPI Himmen from Cologne and implemented in cooperation with Imtech Deutschland, Frankfurt/Main, needed to consider both the architectural constraints and the functional demands of temperature control in the public areas, production facilities, which use clean room technology, and the offices.

Transparent production zones, an event facility, a Leica gallery and a store, photographic studio, restaurant and coffee shop round off the visitor's experience. The building designed by architects Gruber + Kleine-Kraneburg uses Batiso active mass cooling from Zent-Frenger and Uponor radiant heating Classic for temperature control.Ĭovering a footprint of 27,000 m2 and costing EUR 60 million, a high-tech complex has been constructed for 700 Leica Camera employees from the production, administration, training and customer care areas. It also marks the origins of this venerable brand and a return to its historical roots. 'The new company headquarters of Leica Camera AG in Wetzlar is more than just a building.
