With the planned construction of a new daycare centre at Watfordstrasse 30, the state capital of Mainz is setting an example for future-oriented, sustainable and needs-based childcare for the youngest children, and is thus making an important contribution to the promotion of early childhood education. The new building, which will be constructed using a prefabricated method using regional, sustainably sourced timber, will provide space for around 104 children and 24 staff.
A modern fresh food kitchen will provide healthy and balanced meals for the children.
The planned day care centre will implement innovative and ecological building concepts. A geothermal system will provide energy-efficient heating and cooling for the building. An extensive green roof will help to improve the microclimate, and the photovoltaic system, together with the geothermal energy, will provide a self-sufficient energy supply for the daycare centre.
The use of rainwater optimises the use of resources and reduces the carbon footprint of the building. Our aim is to use as much prefabricated timber construction as possible. This not only allows for faster and quieter construction, but also allows for flexible future expansion or reuse. The installation of photovoltaic systems, geothermal energy and a heat pump will provide the day care centre with sustainable energy and make a significant contribution to the energy transition. To ensure a healthy indoor climate, a central ventilation unit with heat exchanger is planned. This will allow fresh air to be supplied efficiently without losing valuable heating energy. In addition, passive cooling in summer will ensure that the rooms remain at a comfortable temperature even on hot days.
These well thought out measures will create a natural environment where children can not only learn and play, but also feel at home, creating the best possible sustainable future for all.
