In the immediate vicinity of Düsseldorf Airport, HOCHTIEF has built a new building for the airport administration. The new building goes way beyond the aspects of Green Buildings: Geothermal energy is used for heating and cooling. The element facade with ventilation flaps was specially developed for this project. The office building also has an information desk and an emergency telephone system. The flexible zones are supplemented by diverse seminar and conference rooms as well as a canteen.
