Albert-Schweitzer-School – Acoustics making learning easier

The first phase of construction began in August 2008 and included the complete renovation of the outer shell. This included a new cover over the flat roof and new 200mm thermal insulation. In the same context, the entire facade was restored, the old aluminum windows were replaced with modern aluminum clad wood windows with 3-fold glazing. In order to achieve optimum thermal insulation for the entire building, curtain Trespa facade was performed with 200 mm insulation. Nnew sun-blinds were also installed. The facade was designed in agreement with the school administration with four colours to make it more appealing externally. 
 
In the second construction phase in December 2008, the interior was renovated. The school was originally equipped with night storage heating. Now, a modern, sustainable and resource-saving heating technology has been installed. The surplus heat is used to heat the entire school and is already designed to heat the subsequent future gymnasium and an outdoor toilet facility. A 53.8 kWp photovoltaic system has been installed on the roof that feeds the generated electricity into the grid.
 
All rooms are equipped with ceiling and wall absorbers ensuring pleasant room  acoustics and facilitating learning.
