Structural innovation & sustainability
- lux-Airport aims to create a reference building concerning sustainability and environmental awareness
- The wooden structure, photovoltaic, rainwater collection, high performing facade, green roofs and terraces, energy reduction due to heat retention by a green layer
- Timber construction – very significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to steel or concrete
- The use of green terraces turns existing sealed parking surfaces into green roofs
- Double facade – significant reduction of noise and energy use, both for heating and cooling
- Building geometry – optimization for daylight means less artificial lighting required
