Article source: PAUAT Architects Located near the railway station in the centre of Wels, although different in function and appearance, it relates to its context in scale and volume, as well as in its position and relation to the district and street. Old and new building structures complement each other and react in shape and context in a dialogue with the urban structure. The new building adapts itself in the space restricted by the predefined structures, reacts to existing building lines and defines with the Aktiv Energy Tower a new qualified urban corner at Bahnhofstrasse.

The AktivEnergyTower achieves approximately 40 kWp with its photovoltaic facades, which completely wrap up the high energy efficient isolated facades and lend liveliness by the arrangement of the PV cells in the horizontally jointed facade. Whereas during daytime the slightly reflective skin summarises the office building to a closed unity, in darkness the building structure becomes visible by the shimmering through artificial light.

The first autonomous revitalization (rehabilitation, reconstruction and renewal) of a former urban industrial quarter in the standard of Passivhouse offers a chance for the huge amount of 20th century housing projects to be converted into best practice objects.

A profit energy concept for room conditioning in service buildings under exploitation of renewable resources is applied and accompanied by a passive chill strategy for the service building on the basis of office- use.
