The IBN building

In this blog, we document the planning and construction of the new IBN building, which was completed in 2015. The building is a so-called Plusenergiehaus or energy-plus building. Using renewable and mineral-based building materials, it boasts a healthy indoor climate and the lowest possible exposure to electrosmog.

We are happy to present some new photos of our institute building. We thank the photographer Maximilian Mutzhas (mutzhas.com) for his good job.

Solar roof and inverter

IBN-Team 16. May 2015 The IBN Building

An important “building block” of the energy concept is the PV system on the roof (9.4 kWp). This system can generate ca. 7500 kWh electricity per year. It is assumed that about one third of this electricity is used for the building itself and two thirds can be fed into the public power grid. Based […]

An outdoor living room in the garden

IBN-Team 4. May 2015 The IBN Building

In building biology, we highly value green space around the house. It is important to live “in and with nature,” but also to live in harmony with one’s neighbors. On the east side of the house, we created an outdoor living room as a little sanctuary where people can relax, have a meeting, or do their […]

Rainwater use

IBN-Team 20. February 2015 The IBN Building

About 50,000 l (13,200 gal) of potable water could be saved per household per year if potable water were separated from service water. The use of rainwater becomes therefore ever more important in regions with little rain. Storing rainwater or letting it seep into the ground also helps relieve the wastewater system and thus helps […]

Artificial lighting

IBN-Team 8. December 2014 The IBN Building

For the new IBN building, we chose a professional lighting design for the following reasons: Beautiful lighting conditions that accentuate the architecture Light quality that promotes well-being and health Providing guidance during this period of change in the artificial lighting sector (e.g. incandescent lamps are banned and the quality of LED lamps varies greatly) Reducing […]

About the Project

For a long time we’ve been searching for a suitable project or plot for the new IBN building. Finally, a ground floor grocery store, built in 1955, which was last used as a beverage market was found. The 620 sqm property includes a small public park in the west with large beautiful deciduous trees.

The ground-floor, circular, curved construction in solid construction (approx. 110 sqm) was extensively renovated, converted and supplemented in 2014 by an upper floor in timber construction and a winter garden with stairs. An allergy-friendly model apartment (52 sqm) was also integrated. This resulted in a total usable area of ​​approx. 250 sqm.

The declared goal in the planning and execution was that, in a holistic sense, a building is created that meets today’s requirements for building biological, healthy and sustainable building. The new building is a plus energy house made from renewable and mineral building materials, with a healthy indoor climate and the best possible reduction of electrosmog. The building is easily accessible by public transport (bus stop in front of the door).

Since 2015, experiences with the building materials used, as well as building services, have been collected, measured and researched in this flagship project.

The accompanying contributions report on various aspects of the construction project.
