Project Summary
 
Ardex has projected a new industrial facility just outside Shanghai, including a production area and an office and training center.
 
The project has successfully received the DGNB SILVER CERTIFICATE by German Sustainable Building Council DGNB in August 2019. It is one of only three buildings in total to date that have been awarded a DGNB certificate in China!

The office and training center is currently being evaluated in regards to DGNB performance. The conducted pre-assessment of all relevant DGNB criteria will then act as a decision matrix for the client to decide whether or not to seek DGNB certification and which suggested improvements to implement.

Optimization suggestions reach from the social use of outdoor areas and safety layout to barrier-free design of the entire ground floor, optimization for comfort and energy efficiency by adding targeted shading and glare protection, flexibility of the structure system and interior partitioning detailing as well as flexibility for later retro-fit and subdivision of rentable units.
