We congratulate the IGS Rinteln by Bez + Kock Architekten on its recognition in the HolzbauPlus federal competition.

Alongside nine other projects, the school building stood out from a total of 139 entries and seemed to fit the motto "Climate protection through innovation" proclaimed by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture particularly well. The demountable solid wood construction with a wood-frame façade and forward-looking energy concept is complemented by generous window fronts that provide the school's interiors with a maximum of beneficial daylight, thus brightening the everyday learning inside.

Our member Simon Glas supplied the insulating glass SANCO Sun COMBI Neutral 61/32 for this purpose. Despite high light transmission, the glass used reduces solar energy transmission and thus prevents the interior rooms from heating up.
