challenges

Various options for renewable heat generation must be compared with each other and evaluated in terms of economic efficiency and the aspect of fair living space.

The first step is to determine the optimal option for replacing the heating system in terms of technical feasibility and to analyze the impact on rental costs with the building owner. The properties are not all connected by a shared parking garage, so the structural impact on the surrounding area must also be examined.
During implementation, it is important to optimally coordinate the staging and the construction process with the secondary conversion work in the buildings.

SOLUTIONS

In addition to the Logis Suisse buildings, a new heating network ensures a sustainable and economical heat supply in the district.

The location of the district is generally very suitable for connection to a heating network. However, a possible connection to the heating network of the regional energy service provider is not possible in the short to medium term. Due to the usable space, a new energy center with wood chip firing will be built. The energy center will be built and operated by the local energy service provider on the client's premises on a contracting basis. In addition to the buildings of Logis Suisse AG, other apartment buildings in the immediate vicinity will be connected and supplied with largely renewable heat in the future.
In the client representation mandate, we take over project management on behalf of the client and monitor compliance with costs, deadlines and quality. We also ensure the interface with the contractor and take on the commissioning and monitoring of the on-site and secondary work.
