Des Wahnsinns Fette Beute, Attendorn, Germany

In the planning and construction of a new building in the form of a modern strategy factory for the Attendorn based strategy consultancy for brand communication, “Des Wahnsinns Fette Beute” (DWFB), energy efficiency and room climate played a particularly important role. Alongside cost efficiency and sustainability, the realisation of the optimum working conditions for the 37 strategy and creative employees was also an important factor. To achieve this, aquatherm and the aquatherm black system were used in the planning and consulting for the technical climate control of the 827 m2 building.

To unite form and function, it was decided to install the technical infrastructure in the work areas so it is visible, under the ceiling, as is also seen in industrial manufacturing. aquatherm black system grids were used for the air conditioning control, heating and cooling and fixed into the suspended ceiling panels. In the conference and meetings rooms for workshops and customer meetings as well as the corridors and toilets, the aquatherm black system is incorporated as wall or ceiling heating in the plaster. With the building envelope as well as the selected heating and cooling system, the ideal conditions were created for installing the aquatherm black system. This began with the simple assembly of the registers which were pre-fabricated in the factory for use as wall and ceiling heating (cooling) as well as in combination with the suspended ceiling panels.

Alongside the aquatherm black system grids (160 m2 in the suspended ceiling panel, 100 m2 in plaster ceiling, 20 m2 in wall plaster) in association with aquatherm actuators for the heating and cooling, the aquatherm blue pipe-Rohrleitungssystem was also used (in and out flow heating system) as well as the aquatherm green pipe-Rohrleitungssystem (potable water supply). This also highlights the excellent interplay between innovative technology and modern design.
