ESG in the LOFT by Covivio: implemented measures
With LOFT by Covivio, Covivio demonstrates how an existing building can be further used and energetically renovated.
Existing properties can also make a contribution: At LOFT by Covivio, the existing building structure was further utilized instead of being rebuilt. The Redevelopment bundles gray energy and presents itself as a modern, reversible project designed for a circular building ecosystem and offering diverse comfort. The proof: the certifications for DGNB Gold, WiredScore Gold and KfW Efficiency House 55 in the new construction.
Redevelopment
LOFT by Covivio is a pioneering building for innovative building concepts: Although the backyard building dates back to 1912, the existing concrete and steel building structure is being reused. The only new construction is the elaborate roof extension. Historical and modern elements are combined through a timeless architectural language.
Ressources
Resources are best used where they are available. Around 120 square meters of photovoltaic modules on the new roof construction provide around 20 megawatt hours of clean solar power per year. Heating and cooling are powered by district heating. There is also rainwater infiltration via retention and infiltration troughs, extensive green roofs and a biodiversity concept including vertical planting.
Features
Longevity means planning for long-term use. This only works if today’s planning anticipates the future – a corporate mission for Covivio. Flexibility, digitalization, and comfort are a must. Open floor plans, inviting communal areas, and the light-filled architecture with industrial charm resonate with the zeitgeist for many years to come. Automated sun protection, keyless access, and charging points for electric vehicles and e-bikes complement the offering.
