Alleestrasse Romanshorn TG
Positive-energy building with photovoltaic façade in the centre of Romanshorn
It has been possible to modernise this 1960s building so that it now produces more energy than it needs for hot water, heating, ventilation and household electricity.
The architectural integration of the photovoltaic modules into the building envelope, means that they can perform a dual function: in addition to producing energy, they also serve as protection against the weather.
There are 3 business premises on the ground floor.
