2226 is a building functioning without heating, cooling, mechanic ventilation.
The agency of be baumschlager eberle, presents in ten cities in the world, draws up with this project of offices and housing to Lustenau in Vorarlberg in Austria, a real manifesto against the projects full of features of machines and the technologies of the last decades. Although energetically effective and of a lesser consumption, these buildings full of features have a short life expectancy and return to a high cost of construction, while requiring an intensive, thus expensive maintenance.
To minimize the energy consumption with less technology is however the objective that settled the architects of be baumschlager eberle. After thirty years of researches on the energy in the construction and more than 400 realized buildings, the construction of the building 2226 made the decisive step. An intelligent software controls the energy flows and acts in function on the various organs of the building. The "heating" results only from the residual heat of the users, from computers, from the lighting, as well as from the sun rays. With the most elementary ways of the architecture, the building offers optimal conditions for the flow management of energy. The important free height of spaces, the good natural lighting and a well moderated internal climate allow to answer the standards of the notion of comfort all over the world.
The name of this building, on 2226, represents the program: it refers to the constraint of ideal temperature of comfort, situated between 22 and 26°C. The 2226 offers much more: long-lastingarchitecture, interpreting the sustainability of buildings in a esthetic and subtle way. Its qualities of space and its elegance delight the users and the passers-by, the indispensable condition for a long lasting of life. The 2226 is a prototype collecting all the acquired experience of the architects.It represents the faith in architecture more worried about the esthetics of the house, about the housing environment, than about the exaggeration of technological equipments. Dietmar Eberle and his team is convinced that, in a near future, buildings can work in this way.
