Trotec was awarded the GreenBuilding Certificate
from the European Commission at an ÖNBG (Austrian Society for Sustainable Building)
event. Trotec received this prestigious award for the new
World Headquarters building, which opened in October 2013, in Marchtrenk, Austria.
Setting New Standards
The building is categorized as a large-scale solar plant
because the majority of the required energy is obtained from the sun. The solar
energy is stored by means of ground storage, a buffer, and a fire water tank. The
total power requirement is produced by the in-house photovoltaic
plant. Another source of energy is the well water, which, according to the
season, it is used for heating or cooling.
In 2005 the European Commission launched the GreenBuilding
Programme (GBP). GreenBuilding is a voluntary program aimed at improving the
energy efficiency of non-residential buildings in Europe.
The program encourages owners of non-residential buildings to take cost-effective measures by enhancing the energy efficiency of their building. Currently, 958 buildings are certified as GreenBuildings.
