Porsche Center Karlsruhe

Location Einsteinstraße 9-15 in Ettlingen
The new Porsche Center Karlsruhe is being built on a 14,000 m² site in the Ettlingen West industrial estate .

The built-up area is approx. 4,000 m². It is the second in Baden-Württemberg to be built according to the new "Destination Porsche" retail concept. There is enough space for 18 vehicles to be presented in the showroom (currently: seven) and the workshop areas of the new building are three times as large and have space for 16 workstations (currently: ten).

The new building will also be equipped with nine charging stations for electric vehicles, up to four of which will be installed as high-voltage charging stations with 800 volts each, against the background of sustainability and electromobility. A large-scale photovoltaic system is planned for the roof areas, which will save 100 tons of CO2 per year.

The project is also aiming for DGNB "Sustainable Building Site" certification from the German Sustainable Building Council.

Certified by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB)

Ed. Züblin AG is pursuing several goals with this project: A sustainable construction site organisation, the conservation of resources as well as the minimisation of emissions, responsibility for the health and well-being of the builders, the cultivation of good neighbourliness and, of course, high-quality construction. For this, Ed. Züblin AG was the first company to be recognised by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

Selected measures in the project

  • Finished parts

    The extensive use of prefabricated parts (filigree slabs, cavity walls, parapets, columns, beams and stairs) enables a shorter construction time to be achieved. These prefabricated orders also reduce the amount of waste. The continued use of flat elements (prefabricated masonry) reduces the use of noisy stone saws to an absolute minimum. Waste cuttings/disposal is also reduced.

  • Energy management in construction

    Energy-saving technologies are being sought in the construction process, e.g. LED technology for the construction lighting, energy-saving radiators and appliances in the construction site containers.

  • Logistics and waste disposal

    Construction waste and waste on the construction site and for disposal are separated.

  • Reducing emissions through construction logistics

    The construction logistics coordination of all upcoming construction site transports to and from the construction site is carried out. This avoids waiting and idle times for transportation and reduces emissions.

  • Early backfilling work in the garage area

    Early backfilling work in the garage area can save long transportation and traffic routes, as central storage areas can be created.

  • Saving resources and avoiding waste by reusing building materials

    Leftover insulation material from the external thermal insulation composite system is collected centrally on the construction site for subsequent recycling. This saves resources and avoids waste.
