The Sun Ship III
The Sun Ship is the service center for the Solar Settlement in Vauban district, Freiburg City, Germany. On the ground floor there is an eco-supermarket, a pharmacy store and a café. On the roof of the Sun Ship building there are nine penthouses.
The cables in the air belong to the city tram system.
It is the first commercial PlusEnergy building (it produces more energy than it expends). On the roof there is a large mounted photovoltaic unit. The walls have special triple-paned windows and vacuum insulation panels. Ventilation with heat recovery is also integrated into the facade. The construction of the building gives an annual primary energy savings of about 1 million kWh.
Architect: Rolf Disch. The color concept was developed by a Berlin artist, Erich Wiesner.
