355 11th's new skin not only prevents solar gain and provides passive
cooling of the interior while meeting heritage-listed building planning
constraints, it also gives the building a facelift, transforming it from a
mundane, run-down structure to an aesthetically attractive modern
building. Because of its natural ventilation and lighting and thermal
buffer, among some other green features, the building is extremely
energy-efficient and has received Gold-level LEED certification. The re-
skinning methods used on 355 11th are both low-tech and cost-
effective, and could be replicated on a global scale.

Sparkasse Vorderpfalz

Category: Large Commercial

Location: Ludwigshafen, Germany

Developer/ Owner: Sparkasse Vorderpfalz

Architects/ Engineers: Egon Weiß (1974), Thiemo Ebbert/ imagine

envelope (2009)

Date Constructed: 2008-2009

Sparkasse Vorderpfalz is a German regional bank with its headquarters

in Ludwigshafen on the River Rhine. The building, constructed in 1974
and comprising a three-story base and nine-story office tower, is
located on the most prominent square in the city center and is a feature
of the city's skyline.

By 2006, problems of weather penetration and poor insulation, as well

as an outmoded appearance, led the bank to initiate a refurbishment of
the building's facade and its heating and cooling services. A condition
of the project was that the retrofitting had to be carried out "without
staining the carpet" — the building's interior had been recently
renovated, and the bank insisted that the work should cause minimal
disruption to its operations.

The architects' solution was to take advantage of the existing service

platforms on the outside of the tower section of the building to fit a

new skin of laminated glass mounted on a steel frame. This created a
weatherproof envelope and a cavity between the new facade and the
original exterior of the building within which the retrofitting work could
proceed without interrupting the building's occupants. Venetian blinds
are mounted inside the cavity to reduce solar gain while at the same
time deflecting some of the sunlight into the building to reduce the
need for electric lighting. The cavity is also used to mount a distributed
system of small HVAC systems that allow for local environmental
control.

The aluminum corner sections of the tower were removed, cleaned,

recoated, insulated and replaced. The base section has also been clad
with an extra laminated glass skin, with additional measures to ensure
proper thermal insulation and weatherproofing.

The new skin has enabled the use of a number of smart building
systems. In summer, the cavity created by the new skin is opened at
the top, allowing the natural updraft to drag used air from the building.
In winter, the cavity is opened at the bottom so that air can be warmed
by the sun before entering the heating systems. Furthermore, the
temperature in each section of the cavity on the four sides of the
building is constantly monitored, and warm air can be moved from one
section to another as required.

In addition, the decentralized HVAC system means that fresh air is

brought in and conditioned only when and where it is needed,
eliminating the need for transporting air within the building. Occupants
can control the temperature and lighting of their individual offices and
sensors switch equipment off when there is no one present.

The better thermal insulation provided by the new skin, the intelligent
HVAC systems and the daylight-deflecting sun blinds have led to an
almost 65 percent improvement in the building's energy performance.
Furthermore, the refurbishment has significantly improved the
occupants' control of their individual environments and their overall
comfort inside the building. The energy savings and improved
maintenance means that the investment in the re-skinning should pay
back within 13 years. The refurbished building has been certified as a
Green Building by the German Energy Agency, one of only around 160
such certified buildings in Europe.

The original building's design and materials are common to many
buildings constructed in Europe in the 1960s and '70s, and therefore
the Sparkasse Vorderpfalz re-skinning process could be reproduced on
a wide scale. Perhaps the most significant aspect of the project in
terms of reproducibility is the fact that it was completed with minimal
disruption for the occupants. The expense and lost work time that
conventional recladding methods cause is a major deterrent for many
organizations when they contemplate improving the energy efficiency
of their buildings.

Eichhorster Weg

Category: Large Residential

Location: Berlin, Germany

Developer/ Owner: Gesobau AG (State of Berlin)

Architects/ Engineers: Oswald Mathias Ungers (1964), DAHM

Architekten + Ingenieure

Date Constructed: 2008-2009

Eichhorster Weg 32-44 is a 538-apartment complex in Berlin's

Märkisches Viertel district. Part of a showpiece 1960s housing
development, the apartments were aging and no longer met social
demands, nor modern energy-efficiency requirements. In 2007,
Eichhorster Weg's builder and owner, the Gesobau housing company
owned by the State of Berlin, decided to refurbish the apartments. Its
aims were to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the buildings in line
with the German Energy Conservation Directive, halve primary energy
consumption, create a more appropriate set of living spaces and
enhance the neighborhood.

Key to improving energy efficiency was the re-skinning of the buildings

with a composite insulation system and the installation of double-
glazed plastic windows. Further efficiencies were achieved by
refurbishing all internal heating systems, including the replacement of
radiators and pipes, the insulation of pipes and the installation of
thermostat valves.

The energy-efficiency gains from the re-skinning of the apartments in
Eichhorster Weg and elsewhere in the Märkisches Viertel development
meant that the old natural gas district heating system would have
excess capacity. For this reason, and to reduce CO2 emissions from
heating, Gesobau is working with the local energy company
Fernheizwerk Märkisches Viertel to replace the old system with a
combined-heat-and-power, biomass-fed district heating plant. The plant
will use wood fuel from renewable sources, and will produce 5
megawatts to feed into the local power grid in addition to the 30-
megawatt output to serve Märkisches Viertel's housing requirements.

The lower fuel costs from the energy-efficiency measures has enabled
Gesobau to increase the rents of the apartments while increasing the
net payments of the tenants only slightly. The rent increase helps to
pay for the investment in the refurbishment while giving tenants
greatly improved living conditions for a small increase in outlays.
Gesobau expects a payback on investment of 14 years.

Now House

Category: Small Residential

Location: Toronto, Canada

Developer/ Owner: Now House Project

Architects/ Engineers: Lorraine Gauthier/ Work Worth Doing

Date Constructed: 2008-2009

Now House is a process for retrofitting older houses to turn them into
net-zero-energy homes. The first application was to a 60-year-old
wartime house in Toronto, which is similar in layout and footprint to a
million other houses in Canada where the process could be replicated.

Category: Future of Re-Skinning

Location: Sydney, Australia

Developer/ Owner: University of Technology, Sydney

Architects/ Engineers: Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA)

Date Constructed: Proposal

Built in 1979 and a beacon for the university, the University of

Technology Tower nevertheless is widely denigrated as ugly, outdated
and energy-inefficient. However, while the overall UTS campus is
undergoing a transformation with major refurbishing and new buildings
scheduled for completion by 2020, the tower is not included in the plan.
LAVA has proposed an innovative new skin that would provide a cost-
effective means to rejuvenate the building's aesthetics and
simultaneously improve its overall environmental performance. The
proposed skin is a three-dimensional lightweight, high performance,
composite mesh textile.

The winners of the 2010 Re-Skinning Awards were selected by an

international jury of nine leading environmentalists, engineers,
architects, designers and academics: Thomas Auer, partner and
managing director of Transsolar GmbH building energy design
consultancy; Andrew Bowerbank, president of the EC3 Initiative for a
low-carbon economy; George Baird, dean, Faculty of Architecture,
Landscape, and Design, and professor of architecture, University of
Toronto, and partner, Baird Sampson Neuert Architects; Stefan
Behnisch, partner, Behnisch Architekten; Fiona Cousins, principal and
leader of sustainability team, Arup, New York City; Judith DiMaio, dean,
