1.5 million kWh of green electricity from just one building

The ECEE combines visionary architecture with state-of-the-art photovoltaic and storage technology and sets new standards in the economic use of renewable energies. Thanks to innovative photovoltaic systems, the energy yield at the site is quadrupled. The ECEE impressively demonstrates how densely populated areas can be used efficiently without sealing additional green spaces and serves as a pioneering model for sustainable energy solutions, micro-grids and regional value creation.

Combination of green roof and photovoltaics

The combination of photovoltaics and green roofs enables a double and efficient use of roof surfaces. Green roofs cool the area surrounding the solar modules, increase their efficiency and at the same time protect the roof surface from the weather. This extends the service life of the roof and reduces maintenance costs. The additional insulation provided by the green roof also reduces heating and cooling costs and improves the microclimate. Green roofs also promote biodiversity by creating habitats for plants and animals – especially in urban areas.

Photovoltaic façade

The ECEE uses modern photovoltaic façade systems that make efficient use of the vertical surfaces of the building to generate energy. This vertical power station reliably supplies electricity even in diffuse lighting conditions and at any time of year. At the same time, its insulating effect reduces the need for heating and cooling and optimally protects the façade from the weather.

Photovoltaic carport

The ECEE uses modern photovoltaic carport systems that transform existing parking spaces into efficient energy sources. These systems generate their own environmentally friendly electricity, reduce operating costs and improve the project’s environmental footprint. They also provide reliable protection for vehicles and increase comfort for tenants and visitors. Thanks to their flexible, modular design, they fit seamlessly into the overall concept of the ECEE and combine sustainability with maximum efficiency.

Photovoltaic noise barrier

The ECEE uses an innovative photovoltaic noise barrier that combines effective noise protection with sustainable energy generation and makes optimum use of existing infrastructure areas. This dual use generates environmentally friendly electricity without requiring additional space.

Local energy supply and charging infrastructure for e-mobility

The electricity generated is made available to the tenants via a communal generation plant (GEA). In combination with the heat recovery system, operating costs are sustainably reduced and at the same time a significant contribution is made to reducing the company’s carbon footprint.

An integral part of the concept is the innovative use of surplus energy, which is fed into a modern charging infrastructure. Right next to the exhibition areas and the village store with integrated cafeteria, 16 fast-charging stations are available for public use. In addition, 70 AC charging points in the underground parking garage offer convenient and flexible charging options for employees, tenants and visitors.

Regional energy supply with vision

In addition to local use, surplus electricity is also supplied to neighboring businesses. This takes place via a regional energy community, which not only reduces grid costs but also guarantees stable energy prices in the long term.

In addition, ECEE’s participation in the largest agro-photovoltaic park in the province of Salzburg guarantees a sustainable energy supply and offers an ideal supplement in the event of increased demand.
