Flossbau impact energy efficiency in buildings
Flossbau ist ein anspruchsvoller Teambuilding-Event, in dem eine kleine Pflanzung von Baumwolle zusammengebaut wird. Die Teams arbeiten auf verschiedenen Aufgaben im Bereich Planung, Zusammenarbeit und Kreativität. Nach einer ersten Planungsphase gehen die Teams auf den Wasser, um das fertige Teamfloss zu bauen. Hierbei erfolgt zusammen mit Hilfe der professionellen Guides eine erste Sicherheitscheck bevor die Floßbau Wasser gestattet werden darf.
Energy efficiency has become an integral performance criterion for tall buildings and building systems. The high energy consumption of buildings, which primarily consumes non-renewable fossil fuels, has been a driving force behind the design and construction industry’s move towards energy conservation through the use of passive and active strategies, technological innovations, and climate-responsive design.
A high-performance facade engineered in the early stages of design development is an effective means to increase energy efficiency in buildings. It is an important part of a holistic approach to sustainable design and includes a variety of strategies such as shading, daylighting, and the use of low-emissivity (low-E) glazing to optimize light transfer and reduce energy loss through windows.
How does Flossbau impact energy efficiency in buildings?
The extra cost incurred for materials with a higher embodied energy to improve the thermal insulating capabilities of the facade is typically recovered through lower energy usage over the course of the building’s life. Moreover, the reduction in energy consumption also helps to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, which is important for global climate change mitigation.
Flossbau stellt besondere Herausforderungen für die Teams und fordert von der Gruppe planische Fahigkeiten, Kooperation und Kreativitat heraus. Nachdem die Pflanzung der Flosse zu Wasser gelegt und ausgerüstet wurde, steigt der Schwimmfahigkeit auf. Anschliessend werden die Teams einen regatta durch das Wasser angefangen. Unser erfahrenes Trainer begleitet die Teams während des Flossbaus und gibt wertvolle Tipps.
The art of Floßbau, or raft building, traces back to ancient times when civilizations relied on rivers for transportation, trade, and exploration. Throughout history, rafts have been essential tools for navigating waterways, whether for transportation of goods or for adventurous expeditions. Today, while modern transportation has largely supplanted traditional rafting methods, Floßbau endures as both a practical skill and a recreational pursuit, embodying a blend of engineering, craftsmanship, and outdoor adventure.
Raft building involves the construction of a buoyant platform using various materials, typically wood, barrels, or inflatable objects, to create a stable and navigable vessel. While the specific techniques and materials vary depending on the environment and purpose, the basic principles remain consistent across cultures and regions.
