Airport parking garage

The parking garage at Zurich Airport has undergone a high-quality refurbishment. In particular, the use of photovoltaics, LED lighting and a dynamic control system has reduced electrical energy requirements by more than 80 percent.

challenges

How can all ongoing projects around the construction perimeter be taken into account?

After 30 years of operation, the supporting structure of the parking garage had to be renovated. In addition to the high quality requirements, there were also current specifications for fire protection and earthquake safety. The refurbishment also had to offer users significant improvements in terms of appearance. The renovation during ongoing operations required architects, civil engineers, building technicians and all other experts to work together smoothly.

SOLUTIONS

The renovated parking garage offers a better user experience and makes a significant contribution to saving energy.

To reduce energy consumption, electrical installations, distribution boards and ventilation and exhaust air systems were replaced. The dynamically controlled LED lighting ensures targeted use of light and significantly increases energy efficiency. Additional electricity is supplied by a photovoltaic system on the roof of the parking garage. A new colour scheme and optimized use of light have significantly enhanced the appearance. The refurbishment has extended the service life of the parking garage by 35 years.
