Did you know that buildings are responsible for 40% of global CO₂ emissions? And that by 2022 we will have reached 8 billion people on this planet? By 2050, it will be 10 billion people. This means that a city the size of Vienna will have to be built every week. So how we build our cities will therefore be crucial.
We say: with less for longer – in a circular, climate-friendly and sustainable way.
That is why we have decided to invest in timpla and thus in the future of construction.
timpla – Germany’s largest wood module plant
The largest wood module factory in Germany covers an area of over 20,000 square metres and houses a variety of innovative machine solutions under its roof. Solar energy is also produced on the roof. The 8,000 square metre photovoltaic system has the following key data:
- Name plate capacity: 1.1 MWp
- Annual electricity production: 903 MWh
- Tonnes of CO₂ avoided over the entire service life: 6,800
- Direct on-site consumption: around 65% (more than 500 MWh per year)
- Construction phase: April – July 2024
The PV system significantly reduces the need for grid electricity. Electricity not consumed by the plant or for vehicle charging is fed back into the grid to increase the share of renewable energy.
Sustainability and environmental benefits
The PV system is not only a technical highlight, but also an important step towards sustainability. By using solar energy, timpla can significantly reduce its CO₂ emissions. The fact that a large part of the electricity generated is consumed on site also means that timpla is less dependent on external energy sources.
