The Schüco exhibition at the BAU fair offered visitors a new perspective on sustainable building construction

The main attraction of the Schüco booth, covering almost 2,800 m², one of the largest at the fair, undoubtedly caught the attention of visitors with its prototype of a self-sufficient building based on the Energie3 concept. Such a building can not only save and produce energy but also distribute and utilize it for lighting, cooling, air conditioning, or powering electric motors. A new façade system, ERC 50, was also introduced, primarily designed for the modernization of existing façades while in operation. With the Schüco ERC 50 façade, the operation inside the renovated building can be maintained without issues. Both the concept of self-sufficient buildings based on the Energie3 principle and the ERC 50 façade for the modernization of mainly commercial buildings have earned Schüco a DGNB Gold pre-certification awarded by the German Sustainable Building Council DGNB.

Visitors from among architects, developers, construction companies, and other professional spheres, who came to the fair from virtually every corner of the world, were welcomed by Schüco with a completely new layout and concept of the booth. The booth design was tuned to the spirit of a new and greener corporate image, aligning with the motto "Green Technology for the Blue Planet." All displayed products and system solutions from Schüco were designed and constructed to facilitate the creation of energy-efficient buildings in all climatic areas. Such buildings will comfortably meet the requirements of national standards and ensure a positive energy balance. For a clear and organized classification of individual products and systems according to their energy efficiency, Schüco created a sorting system into three groups. Class E denotes buildings/systems that save energy, Class E2 includes objects that save and produce energy, and finally, Class E3 encompasses the buildings of the future that will not only save and produce energy but also distribute and utilize it. According to this scheme, individual Schüco products were arranged and presented at the fair. As part of the energy class E2, construction is currently underway in northern Germany for the very first reference building based on the principles of the 2° system.

Another interesting aspect that is definitely worth mentioning and that visitors to the Schüco exhibition at the BAU fair could look forward to was the Schüco Green Hour accompanying program, which featured regular lectures from well-known German personalities and celebrities from various spheres of life. Everyone had the opportunity to express their views on a variety of economic and environmental topics. The lectures included participants such as the world-famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner, actor Hannes Jaenicke, and goalkeeper Jens Lehmann. Visitors to the booth could also watch the lectures from the Green Hour on a monitor in the middle of the exhibition.
