Artificial lighting

IBN-Team 8. December 2014 Posts

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 […]

Hurray, the new IBN building is complete!

IBN-Team 5. December 2014 Posts

Finally we made it! We have come a long way from finding the right property to designing the project and building it, but now we have been rewarded—as we think—with a very attractive building that meets current building biology criteria. We would like to thank all those involved in this project—e.g. architects, designers, installers, tradespeople, […]

Ventilation systems with heat recovery

IBN-Team 17. October 2014 Posts

In some building biology circles, the necessity of a ventilation system is a subject of heated debate. Sometimes supporters and opponents butt heads with each other, without either side giving an inch.  Because of this situation, we decided to have installed three different ventilation systems with heat recovery in three different user areas (I showroom / […]

Temperature control vs. heating

IBN-Team 1. October 2014 Posts

How to heat a building biology-based flagship project? A subject that has plenty of options and even more opinions. After careful consideration, we decided on the following concept (design by Frank Hartmann, Building System Technician, Building Biology Consulting Office IBN): Heat generation: Primary pellet furnace, net power output of 10 kW (8 kW water, 2 […]

External thermal insulation composite system

IBN-Team 30. July 2014 Posts

External thermal insulation composite systems are mostly made of insulation materials and related adhesives and plasters, which are rejected in building biology, for example, due to nonpermeable materials, toxic ingredients, problematic fire performance, contaminated soil and groundwater as a result of leaching algicides and fungicides, as well as other problems during the life cycle of […]

The IBN building

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.
