Umwelt Arena shows lighthouse project Building 2050 Urdorf

The Stiftung Umwelt Arena Schweiz shows the pioneering project Bauen 2050 Urdorf during guided tours. Interested parties are also shown a model flat in the CO2-neutral development. The programme is also suitable as a company outing. Among other things, recycled concrete was used in the project.

The latest flagship project of the Building 2050 concept of the Swiss Environment Arena Foundation isa CO2-neutral housing development in Urdorf. It is now being made accessible to interested parties as part of guided tours. According to a LinkedIn post by the foundation, the programme is also suitable as a company outing. In the first module, participants are given a guided tour of the housing complex itself. They are also shown a model flat. The second module takes place in the Umwelt Arena in Spreitenbach, where further background information on the Building 2050 concept is presented. The Environment Area itself will also be in focus. Among other things, participants could travel between the two locations on the Limmattalbahn.

The CO2-neutral residential development in Urdorf features several sustainable building concepts. For example, recycled concrete and brick were used, which allow solar thermal energy to be stored with as little loss as possible. In addition, showers with heat recovery, geothermal probes and triple-glazed windows, for example, contribute to high energy efficiency. Thanks to such measures, electricity and heat are free of charge for tenants within a defined budget. The development was built by W. Schmid + Co. Glattbrugg and Umwelt Arena’s exhibition and specialist partners.
