High Tech Campus Villach

A key element of the sustainable construction of the High Tech Campus Villach (HTC) is the reuse of materials, particularly in the interior design. In the second construction phase of the building, raised floor panels were reclaimed from an existing building. These panels were refurbished at the Lindner plant and then installed in the new building. The panels used, known as LOOP prime, have the same technical and physical properties as new panels. This measure has led to a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions – the CO₂ balance has been improved by 75%.

Modular, demountable building systems were chosen for the office spaces in the HTC. These systems allow for flexible use of spaces, easy reconfiguration, and trouble-free dismantling at the end of their lifecycle. This approach closes the material loop and extends the lifespan of the materials used. It not only supports the ecological goals of the project but also reduces the need for new raw materials.

In addition to the use of recycled materials, the HTC places great emphasis on energy-efficient building systems. The applied technologies include heating and cooling ceilings as well as a central cooling supply using concrete core activation. These measures significantly help reduce the building's energy consumption and optimize operating costs.

The High Tech Campus Villach clearly demonstrates how the principles of the circular economy and sustainability can be integrated into modern construction projects. The reuse of materials, the use of modular building systems, and efficient energy supply are just some examples of how innovative construction contributes to resource conservation and CO₂ reduction. The building represents an important step towards a more sustainable construction industry.
