Lichtenreuth quarter
Brunecker Straße site in Nuremberg
The site is part of the new Lichtenreuth district development in Nuremberg and is located in the south of the city, on the former site of the marshalling yard.
A total of five buildings, houses A-E, were built in three construction phases WA2, WA1.1 and WA1.2.
These have 42 residential units in the first construction phase WA2, 75 residential units in the second construction phase WA1.2 and 66 residential units in the third construction phase WA1.1. Depending on their location, the residential units have balconies, loggias, terraces with garden areas or roof terraces. Each building has its own staircase with an elevator system, which provides access. In addition, construction phase WA1.1 includes a commercial unit and a single-storey underground garage extending across all three construction phases, whose parking spaces can only be accessed via a gate system and are therefore not accessible to the public. There are also cellar compartments, bicycle rooms and cleaning and technical rooms in the basement.
This is a completely new turnkey building. The storey and roof ceilings were constructed as reinforced concrete structures resting on masonry interior and exterior walls. The underground car park is also a reinforced concrete structure. A large part of the outdoor facilities in the area of the inner courtyard rest on the underground garage and are extensively landscaped. All precipitation water is initially collected in retention systems and, if not already used by the planting, seeps away into infiltration channels.
The project is 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 organization, the conservation of resources as well as the minimization 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 recognized by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

Selected measures in the project
-
Finished parts
The extensive use of prefabricated parts (filigree slabs, stairs) means that a shorter construction time can be achieved. The volume of waste is also reduced thanks to the prefabricated orders.
-
Saving resources and reducing emissions through LEAN Construction
As part of the lean approach, a production plan with call-off dates (e.g. insulation) was created. Construction production planning is detailed on a weekly basis and adapted to actual production progress. Changes in the construction process are constantly taken into account and just-in-time deliveries can be better implemented. Repeat orders and new orders due to late changes to the plan are avoided.
-
Measures to prevent pollution from the construction site
The project is adjacent to a residential area, which is why the impact of the construction site will be avoided or reduced as far as possible.
-
Energy management in construction
Construction operations studies and comparative considerations for the most energy-efficient project execution possible. For example, use of a concrete pump.
