Last week Häring received a delegation from the Royal Academy in Switzerland and presented our factories in Eiken and Burgdorf. The aim was to prepare the joinery and assembly work for the new multi-purpose hall - but above all to ensure that glulam can be a material and energy-efficient method of construction in Bhutan.

This new build for the City of Basel Canton Ministry for Environment and Energy is the first inner-city administration building in Switzerland designed to gain Swiss Minergie-A ECO certification. As befits the ministry’s remit, the zero-energy office building is intended to serve as a shining example of highly resource-efficient construction and inspire like-minded projects.
