The Aim

The aim of the FLOW is to be the centre of attraction for a global super cluster of technological innovations for climate protection in sense of implementing the United Nations’ sustainability goals and the circular economy. The centre will be a hot spot for innovators, creatives, investors and implementers and is expected to attract the best start-ups worldwide and bring them to Meerbusch.

The building is intended to become a symbol of structural change and to stand for the transformation into a sustainable, post-fossil society and have a positive ecological footprint.

Triple Zero Approach

The construction and operation of the building is based on a triple zero approach:

Firstly, the building only requires the energy that it generates itself from sustainable sources. (zero energy).
Secondly, the building produces no harmful emissions (zero emission).
Thirdly, all building components are completely recyclable into technical or biological cycles (zero waste).

The building will be CO2 positive and implement a sponge concept for water retention and recycling. The building has water areas in the courtyard and outdoor spaces as well as green spaces to promote biodiversity.

Mobility

A mobility concept for a dedicated mobility service is being developed for the GEC House. The aim is to get and depart to the GEC car-free and CO2 neutral.
The mobility concept is intended to provide the basis for deviating from the usual parking key and to minimise car traffic to the GEC.
