The Circle equipped with 30,000 products from Siemens
30,000 Siemens elements are installed in "The Circle" at Zurich Airport. The building complex is Minergie-certified and meets the standard of the US Green Building Council.
In November, the building complex "The Circle" was inaugurated at Zurich Airport. According to a Siemens press release, a total of more than 30,000 building and energy technology products were installed. All components for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are used to control the indoor climate.
Siemens writes that the systems have a modular design for the purpose of expandability and changeability. The heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems are controlled with countless valves, drives, sensors, air damper drives and frequency converters.
Siemens voice alarm systems provide security in public areas such as retail spaces, parking garages and , at the Hyatt Hotel and Zurich University Hospital. Each building has its own system that is networked with the others.
Coordinating the numerous players and the tight schedule was apparently the biggest challenge. "That's why we designed a unique logistics concept, with a warehouse at our Steinhausen site and a transport vehicle that travels only for The Circle," Felix von Rotz, Head of Building Products at Siemens Switzerland, is quoted as saying.
According to Siemens, the new building complex will also make sustainability the standard. The building is Minergie-certified and meets the "Leed Platinum" standard of the US Green Building Council.
