Building in Andermatt meets Minergie-P standard
The first building to the Minergie-P standard in the Urser Valley is located in the village of Andermatt Reuss. The Frame flat house was built by Andermatt Swiss Alps AG as the client and S+B Baumanagement AG as the total contractor.
The Andermatt Reuss part of the village, realised by Andermatt Swiss Alps AG, can boast a new attraction, writes the building directorate of the Canton of Uri in a statement. With the Frame flat house, the village district has the first building with Minergie-P certification in the Ursertal valley. For the top category of the Minergie standard, high requirements must be met for the building envelope, energy balance and overall energy efficiency.
“Only a few buildings have received this award in Uri so far,” building director Roger Nager is quoted as saying in the press release. In Frame’s case, the alpine location of the apartment building is an additional factor. “It is a great achievement that this low-energy house could be built at around 1500 metres,” says Nager.
The building owner, Andermatt Swiss Alps AG, is having all the new apartment buildings and hotels in the Andermatt Reuss part of the village built to the Minergie standard. In the case of the Frame apartment building, the developer decided to implement the Minergie-P standard thanks to support and advice from the Uri Energy Promotion Programme, writes the building directorate. It expects that two more buildings in Andermatt Reus will soon receive Minergie-P certification.
The Frame apartment building at Ritomgasse 7 in Andermatt Reuss was built by the total contractor S+B Baumanagement AG. Its 34 flats have already been handed over to their new owners in 2021.
