RADAUTI ADMINISTRATION BUILDING (ROMANIA) SUSTAINABLE
IMPLEMENTATION
OF
ENERGY-EFFICIENT
CONSTRUCTION WITH EGGER WOOD-BASED MATERIALS
WOOD
Preparations for our office building in Radauti commenced in the year 2009. The
building is an architecturally appealing modular wood frame structure, scheduled to
be ready for occupation in August 2010. It is largely made of EGGER products.
On a total of 3,820 m² (41,118 square feet), the three-storey wood structure offers space for 170 employees.
The building features a low-energy design with passive house components. In combination with EGGER
wood-based materials, it is particularly environmentally friendly.
Made of 21 identical modules, the office building sets an example for the entire group. The design concept is
to be used at all plants where new administrative buildings are required in the future. Thanks to its modular
structure, it features a flexible floor plan that can be expanded to up to three storeys.
EGGER is realising this project with solid construction wood and glued laminated wood from our sawmill in
Brilon (DE) as well as EUROSTRAND® OSB 4 TOP, MDF, EUROLIGHT® lightweight boards, EURODEKOR®
melamine faced boards, EGGER laminate flooring and compact laminate. “The building constitutes an
EGGER reference project for our products, clearly illustrating the wide variety of applications,” exults Project
Manager Hannes Ehrensberger, Technical Planning EGGER Group. In addition, the building constructed
according to the low-energy standard with passive house components will be sustainable and extremely costeffective to operate. The selected design emerged as the winner of an architectural competition initiated by
EGGER. Bruno Moser from Tyrol decided the contest in his favour. The company Holzbau Saurer from Höfen
in Austria was selected as the general contractor for the modules.
