The picturesque German city of Heidelberg is residentially very popular, but has no room for expansion, and the spectacular solution is to build a completely new district \u2013 the Bahnstadt.\u00a0 The 286 acre area that was once Heidelberg’s rail freight yards sees a \u20ac2 billion initiative, claimed to be the largest passivhaus development anywhere.\u00a0 By 2022 it will provide living space for around 5000 residents and all buildings, not just residential properties, will meet advanced passivhaus standards. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Balconies are an important feature of the Bahnstadt residential apartments, but they have not always been a popular choice in the context of high efficiency passivhaus design.\u00a0\u00a0 That has changed with the Sch\u00f6ck Isokorb type XT structural thermal break unit.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This latest generation product for concrete-to-concrete applications offers such a high level of insulation that the Passivhaus Institute in Darmstadt has awarded it the “low thermal bridge construction” certificate, confirming its suitability for passivhaus construction.\u00a0 Thousands of type XT units are incorporated into the Bahnstadt development.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n The units offer designers a variety of design options, including the capability to construct stepped height balconies, with increased fire protection also taken into account.\u00a0 The full Sch\u00f6ck Isokorb range allows connections to be made between concrete-to-concrete, concrete-to-steel and steel-to-steel \u2013 and in the UK, all units meet full compliance with all relevant building regulations, while also providing BBA Certification and LABC Registration.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For your free copy of the new\u00a0 \u2018Thermal Bridging Guide\u2019 or the Sch\u00f6ck Specifiers Guide contact the company on 01865 290 890 or visit <\/em><\/strong>www.schoeck.co.uk<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The picturesque German city of Heidelberg is residentially very popular, but has no room for expansion, and the spectacular solution is to build a completely new district \u2013 the Bahnstadt.\u00a0 The 286 acre area that was once Heidelberg’s rail freight yards sees a \u20ac2 billion initiative, claimed to be the largest passivhaus development anywhere.\u00a0 By 2022 it will provide living space for around 5000 residents and all buildings, not just residential properties, will meet advanced passivhaus standards. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2732,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\n
