SMART BUILDING
and project management , a comprehensive energy concept was drawn up . Photovoltaics and renewable energies were promoted and designed smartly into an overall concept . The whole thing also had to be intelligently controlled and adapted to Vrielmann ’ s processes . “ Today , we have heating / cooling ceilings in use here ,” says Ensink , pointing to the ceiling . “ We have really grown together professionally with this construction . In the meantime , an entire department has been created which today deals with energy management and building automation .
“ There is not a comparable building within a radius of at least 300 kilometers .”

And a very decisive element is the flexibility of the entire building control system . Lighting control , media technology , air conditioning and heating control , energy management , ventilation – even the sanitary facilities are integrated into the building management system , and output and consumption are recorded and controlled according to requirements .”
Kevin ten Winkel adds : “ You won ’ t find a comparable building within a radius of at least 300 kilometers .” He has a quick think . “ Okay , just one , because Bad Pyrmont and Building 4 are only about 200 kilometers away ...” ( lo ) •
