Energy efficiency and cost savings at their best in the Czech Republic
The first passive apartment building in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, also preserves the character of the industrial tradition on which the town was built. Based on a BIM model supplied by Xella, using large-size calcium-silicate blocks for the external and internal load-bearing walls saves an extraordinary amount of time and money.
A former factory site will become one of the most modern places in Hradec Králové: the new building will bring the atmosphere of a quiet and sunny courtyard into the apartments and correspond to the revitalization of the district. In addition to the gravel facade and bricks used in the construction, the perimeter and load-bearing walls of the lower floors are made of monolithic reinforced concrete and Silka calcium-silicate blocks.
