Shaping the future together
Hand in hand to a sustainable building The goal: building and operating buildings in new ways in the future
The planning and consulting company Drees & Sommer and Phoenix Contact have been working together successfully for several years on the future of constructing and operating buildings. Today, an integral approach is needed when new buildings are being planned or existing ones converted. In other words, all the players involved in construction must work together from an early stage. The aim is to increase energy efficiency while adopting approaches that ensure maximum flexibility when it comes to the use of the buildings.
The OWP12 Energy-Plus Office in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany, is a sustainable and digital blueprint for office buildings of the future. From the very beginning, the experts have been discussing together how the perfect interaction between people and buildings can be reached. Christof Göbel of Drees & Sommer, and Sebastian Palmer of Phoenix Contact, look with pride at the result of their forward-looking alliance: A building that is flexibly oriented to the needs of people and the environment.
Enthusiasm is the basis for the future Phoenix Contact connects us through the spirit of developing new things together
The connection between Klaus Hengsbach, who organizes educational competitions such as the xplore competition, and Anton Schönenberg, who now develops software services for the Phoenix Contact Group, shows how young people can be inspired by technologies and technical interrelationships and how continuous educational work can contribute to this.
Cooperation between industry and research People, concepts, and solutions connect on the journey to a smart city
The model city of Lemgo shows the synergies that result from collaboration between industry and research. Jörg Nolte from Phoenix Contact and Dr. Jürgen Jasperneite from the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Automation have teamed up to create digital transparency in various urban living areas with solutions for heat supply, traffic routing, and street lighting.
The two experts are united by the common goals of improving the quality of life for people in cities and making resources sustainable. We can easily scall all of these applications and transfer them to large cities. The link between digitalization and reality – a fitting description of the connection between industry and research.
