Energie 360° renovates its headquarters in Altstetten
Energie 360° is renovating its headquarters in Zurich-Altstetten. The Zurich energy supplier is investing around 28 million francs in the conversion and repair of the building. Construction is scheduled to start in spring 2023.
Energie 360° wants to convert and repair its headquarters at Aargauerstrasse 182 in Altstetten, which was built in 2003. The energy supplier, which is majority owned by the city of Zurich , is investing almost 28 million francs in this. In its capacity as client representative, the Office for Buildings of the City of Zurich has now submitted the corresponding building application, the city administration and energy company inform in a joint statement . They expect construction to begin next spring.
The conversion work is intended to adapt the headquarters to the requirements of a modern working environment "with flexible and hybrid working concepts", according to the statement. For this purpose, the existing premises are to be redesigned “into an open office landscape” with correspondingly modernized building services. A large-scale photovoltaic system is planned for the facades and roof.
After a "strategic review", the management of Energie 360° has given up on initial considerations of adding a new building to the existing building, the statement explains further. Instead, the existing building should be optimized "for an efficient and result-oriented working environment". Jessenvollweider Architektur from Basel is responsible for the architectural concept.
By 2040, Energie 360° wants to switch its offer exclusively to energy from renewable sources. According to the announcement, the conversion of the headquarters is driving this “transformation of the company and enables targeted energy saving measures in our own operations”.
