Bruck Passive House Hotel

Bruck Passive House Hotel

EDGE Advanced

Designed by Peter Ruge Architekten of Germany, the Bruck Passive House is a 46-room boutique hotel built with the principles of passive house design. The building uses an advanced, well-insulated external structure for excellent thermal performance, keeping indoor air temperate and fresh for guests in both summer and winter. The height of the building was controlled in order to create a natural integration with the surrounding environment.

In addition to EDGE certification, Bruck has received China’s Three Star rating and has been certified by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). The project was co-built by the Passive House Institute of Germany, Deutsche Energie-Agentur and the Landsea Group, a member of the China Green Construction Committee that pursues projects oriented towards health, comfort, energy savings and environmental protection. Landsea has plans to develop more projects in the future that will achieve EDGE certification.
