Eumetsat office building

EUMETSAT, the European organization for the use of meteorological satellites, and is headquartered in Darmstadt. To cope with ever expanding tasks, it was necessary to erect a new office building. In the new build, office areas were created for about 160 staff members and a new 255-seat canteen for all staff in Darmstadt. CANZLER was contracted to provide property planning service levels 1-8. The office area requirements centered on variable usage as an open-plan area, several-person offices and classic single-cell workstations. The office floors in the building are cooled by concrete core activation, which is highly effective thanks to the fair-faced concrete ceilings. The remote heating grid provided by the local utility and four air-cooled heat pumps cover the building’s heating requirement, with the basic heating load likewise handled by concrete core activation.
