22/26
Location: Lustenau, Austria
Status: Realized in 2013
Architect: Dietmar Eberle, Baumschlager Eberle Architects
Engineering: Lars Junghans
Description:
The 22/26 Lustenau is the first building located in a cold climate that does not require active systems for heating, cooling and ventilation to provide a comfortable indoor environment.
The indoor air quality and thermal comfort is controlled by using a novel building automation system. A natural ventilation opening is used to control the internal condition.
The 22/26 technology is applied in the 22/26 Lustenau the first time. The technology is applied to residential and office buildings in Europe.

Description:
The team won the 1st Price in the architectural design competition
The CO2 emission will be reduced by using thermal mass that can be used for passive heating and cooling in residential buildings.
The team developed together with industry a new hemp lime mix. The hemp lime mix provides sufficient thermal mass in the internal space while providing sufficient insulation as a building envelope.
