Energy-saving windows for the most demanding of requirements In order to guarantee a high degree of light penetration into the apartments in the most energy-efficient way possible, the architect rounded off the holistic energy concept with Schüco window systems. Architect Stephan Brings explained the particular requirements as building follows: “The envelope has been designed throughout with building materials and components which have the highest level of energy efficiency. This naturally also applies to the window systems. They not only had to offer an outstanding U value and improved security features; for design reasons, we also wanted the most slimline profile face widths possible and attractive colour coating options for the profiles.” PVC-U window units and window doors with triple insulating glazing from the Schüco Corona SI 82 system range were used. They have three drainage levels for maximum protection against wind, rain and noise. With a top Uw value of 0.91 W/(m² K), the combination of the 6-chamber profile system and the triple insulating glazing allows excellent thermal insulation properties to be achieved. At the same time, the increased profile basic depth of 82 mm improves burglar resistance. For the colour selection of the system profiles, advantage was taken of the option to design the inside and outside of the units in different colours. The window profiles, which are white for the inside area, were coated with a smooth anthracite grey foil on the outside. This created a degree of correspondence across all of the materials with the colour of the aluminium mullion/transom construction in the stairwell façades. As the window doors of the Schüco Corona SI 82 system have the same construction type, profile face widths and profile basic depths as the windows, these form a unified appearance and also feature an easy-access combination threshold in accordance with DIN 18025.
