The façades were also attached to the trusses there, so that only individual elements had to be assembled on site – floor by floor,” says Daniel Canar, senior director of formulation at Gropyus The residential tower has only 5% of the greenhouse capacity compared to a reference building The photovoltaic system integrated in the façade ensures that the building is energy positive throughout its life cycle As everywhere in Germany, affordable living space is also needed here. “We are delighted that Gropius has erected its first building here in Weissenthurm – so we are a kind of pioneering community for the future of modern housing construction,” says Gerd Heim, Mayor of Weissenthurm, and continues: “Especially linking sustainability and high energy efficiency with smart living space Affordable is a great concept to meet the housing shortage.
