Ready for the future
Since October 31, 2018, our offices are located in ABSoluut Plaza, a project of ABS Bouwteam that is maximally prepared for the future.
Air-conditioning is generated centrally and collectively.
Heating and cooling needs are kept to a minimum through optimal insulation and solar shading. Moreover, through geothermal energy, all energy for heating and cooling is extracted from the earth by using the ground as a kind of battery for heating/cooling (to a depth of more than 120 meters).
Water pumps, 30 boreholes and hydraulics are used. The heat dissipated from the building in the summer (i.e. the cooling of the building) is stored in the ground. During the heating season, that heat is extracted again to heat the building. The energy needed to convert the geothermal energy into usable heat and cooling (i.e. the heat pump) is generated as locally and sustainably as possible through sunlight, i.e. via solar panels. Furthermore, rainwater is collected for, among other things, the building's toilets.
