A sustainability pilot project was built for Billa on a property close to the centre of Perchtoldsdorf. The building was certified to DGNB Gold level, TQB and Klima Akitv. In addition to the sustainable dual use by the supermarket and the municipal car park, the ecological approaches with regard to energy efficiency, the sustainable selection of building materials, the use of daylight and photovoltaics are particularly noteworthy. During the planning phase, special consideration was given to the property's tree population and the avoidance of emissions. The holistic architectural concept, which frames both the supermarket and the associated car park areas, was developed from the corporate design of Billa and represents a pleasant haven of peace in contrast to the often blatant architecture of supermarkets.
