impresses thanks to its extremely high insulation values and low U values, and thus meets the strict heat protection requirements. In total, 177 window elements were installed with frame dimensions of up [...] all with particularly slim face widths on the window profiles. This demanding interplay of effective heat insulation and slim profiles was met perfectly thanks to profile systems from Forster. Another challenge
thermfix vario system was used, in the 60 x 250 x 5 mm format, with a span of around 8.8 metres and heat-insulating triple glazing. Erik Roerdink commented that this decision was based on the knowledge that [...] photovoltaic system and ecologically valuable greenery, whilst the built-in ventilation system and heat and cold storage system in the ground ensure an optimum internal temperature.

The new windows no longer ensured sufficient air circulation to counteract heating [...] protection without any darkening effect. With the sunlight reflected outwards, any direct incoming heat is also reduced and gtotal is kept below 0.05. However, a sufficient amount of daylight is still
