Refurbishment of the Victoria House
The refurbishment of the Victoria House at the Botanical Gardens in Berlin-Dahlem was the second major greenhouse refurbishment project following refurbishment of the Great Tropical House. The basement of the Victoria House serves as the central visitor entrance to the ensemble of 14 greenhouses. The Victoria House was extremely energy inefficient, meeting standards set in the post-war period. Due to the exceptional conditions that must prevail in the Victoria House, namely a tropical climate, an energetic refurbishment was conducted with the aim of significantly and sustainably reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption. In order to improve the botanical gardens’ general energy efficiency, the local heating network (partly still the original system!) was also refurbished.
