Juwi's headquarters is a model of sustainable building. It is plus energy building, meaning that it produces more energy than it consumes.
For ventilation, heating and cooling, Juwi designed an efficient supply system entirely based on renewable energy sources. The energy cabin supplies the building complex with heat using CO2-neutral wood delivered through a radiant floor heating system. A sprinkler tank which holds 114,000 litres provides a dual function of fire protection and cooling of the building, using water cooled by the night time air that is pump chilled temperatures into the building on hot days. Numerous photovoltaic modules and cell technologoies on a total area of 3,150 square meters of roofs, south facades and a car park transform sunlight into clean energy.
Solar carports constructed on 920 m2 produce 97,000 kilowatt-hours annually and protect parked cars from the elements.
Along with these, solar charging stations and a test program for electric cars, bikes, and scooters are part of the company's methods of supporting future mobility based on electricity powered by renewables.
