Sommer Structural Engineering – Energy-Efficient Office Building

The office building combines photovoltaics, battery storage, heat pumps, and e-mobility into a coordinated overall system. The focus is on two key applications: Firstly, the PV electricity generated during the day is stored and used later, which reduces grid consumption and increases energy efficiency. On the other hand, energy management is already designed to take dynamic electricity tariffs into account in the future and to respond automatically to price and load signals. This allows the building to charge during low-cost tariff periods and use electricity selectively during expensive periods. The combination of these two areas creates a flexible, economical, and robust energy supply for everyday office life.
