2 ECOLOGICAL CHALLENGE ENVIRONMENT & RESOURCES If we continue our lifestyle as before, latest 2030 we will need two planets to keep up our human demands for goods and services. If 5 billion humans would copy our western lifestyle we would need more than 2 additional planets for supply! Source: Prof. Dr. Schmidt-Bleek, Wuppertal-Institut

3 FUTURE IS URBAN More than half of humanity now lives in cities - and that figure will likely reach 75% by Source: National Nations

4 INFRASTRUCTURE UNSUSTAINABLE PATTERNS

5 BUILDING IS RESOURCE INTENSIVE AND COMPLEX The building industry is worldwide responsible for: 40% consumption of resources 1) 25% - 40% consumption of energy 1) 30% - 40% emission of greenhouse gas 1) 30% - 40% of solid waste generation 1) 60% of the transports 2 ) 1) Source: UNEP SBCI United Nations Environment Programme 2) ton kilometres

6 CONSERVATIVE BUILDING INDUSTRY most part manual manufactured very complex long execution of construction works high consumption of energy and resources high rise buildings are exclusive of steel and RCC

7 RECYCLING PLANNING USE UTILIZATION & REMEDIATION EXECUTION LifeCycle Costs

8 Timber based building construction for sustainable multi-storey buildings LifeCycle Tower Timber construction system up to 30 floors Industrial pre-fabrication Passive house standard and power generation

9 DIMENSION & MATERIALS Height Grid Clear height Slab range Utilization up to 100 m / 30 stories 1,35 m > 2,40 m (7 ¼ feet) up to 9,45 m (31 feet) column-free/unsupported office, hotel, residential, restaurant RCC: Composite Wood basement, 1 st and 2 nd floor core up to 9,0 m slab from 2 nd floor up Façade columns 2 nd floor up core from 9,0 m up

10 LifeCycle Tower - POSSIBLE FAÇADE

12 Photovoltaic- Element Shadow Heat- and cooling bar + fire alarm system + sprinkler system + illuminating + ventilation natural ventilation Vertical- Garden LifeCycle Tower - POSSIBLE FAÇADE

13 Glulam columns Composite slab Glulam beam core RCC core RCC foundation LifeCycle Tower Structure Design

14 SUSTAINABLE BUILDING SYSTEM SOCIAL individual design lower amounts of noise and air pollution agreeable indoor climate ENVIRONMENT minimized consumption of resources using of local resources significantly improved CO 2 balance ECONOMIC reduced lifecycle costs easy conversion of utilization high level of security regarding costs and quality short time for planning & design

21 VARIETY TOWERS

22 MID-RISE BUILDING

23 SECRUITY EARTHQUAKE Essential higher earthquake protection 50% weight saving high short time strength flexible (non rigid) connections

24 SECRUITY FIRE PROTECTION High fire-protection using of sprinkler systems using of fire alarm system using of wood as carrying parts (keeps the strength by heat) steel each floor sealing (composite reinforced concrete/timber slab) considering of high protection target mineral construction (reinforced concrete) up to 9,0 m height of construction

25 EN EN :1999; EN EN 13652; DIN EN EN : REI90

26 ADVANTAGES useable over the high-rise range high comfort for building service engineering available as PASSIVE- or PLUS-ENEGRGY building high reusability economic dismantling costs reduced life cycle costs economical (money saver) using of local resources reduced routes of transports purposive use of sustainable materials significantly improved CO 2 balance easy and economic utilization between each floor high level of security regarding costs (fixed price)
