Technical Building
LX.2.2

Project description

The LX.2.2 technical building, which was designed as an ÖBB user building, is being constructed in the immediate vicinity of the new to the new Vienna Central Station – next to the already existing LX.2. technical building – at the north-east corner of the triangular "Urban Development Area D".

The clear commitment of the client to construct a higher quality building than currently required by Austrian law or standardization was clearly expressed by the ÖGNI* with the highest DGNB** certificate in platinum for the LX.2.2 technical building.

The bar was already set high during the preliminary design and the subsequent design and submission planning. the bar was set high. The specifications for sustainable construction, some of which originated in the competition sustainable building were constantly refined in order to achieve an overall degree of fulfillment of at least 80 percent and a minimum degree of fulfillment of 65 percent in all five areas relevant to the results:

Ecological quality | Economic quality | Socio-cultural and functional quality | Technical quality | Process quality.

The use of ecological building materials should significantly improve the climate inside the building (e.g., by (e.g. reduction of TVOC, formaldehyde) and the improved outdoor quality should contribute to the satisfaction, health and thus productivity of the users.

In terms of quality assurance, these topics will also be continued in the execution phase of the building, so that finally building, so that ultimately the building will also meet the final ÖGNI End-certification upon completion.

The ÖGNI certification system

With the DGNB system, the ÖGNI offers instruments that focus on the entire life cycle of a building or neighborhood and are based on the idea of integrated planning. The objective description and evaluation serves quality in a comprehensive sense over the entire building life cycle. All essential aspects of sustainable building are considered throughout.
