The name says it all. Extensive reconstruction work has given the former old post office in Leipzig a new lease of life. The “Lebendige Haus” features a wide range of possible uses. Spread over around 70,000 square metres of gross floor area, there are 322 Serviced apartments, offices, restaurants, a conference centre, a fitness studio, an underground garage with 366 parking spaces as well as various businesses and shops. Looking at the outside as well, the listed building on Augustusplatz, one of the largest town squares in Germany, is impelling with its special charisma. With an innovative light&sound piece of artwork encompassing the building, which reaches its pinnacle on the glass-fronted 7th floor, the building is highly visible, taking centre stage both inside and out.
Kermi has supplied all the radiators for the apartments. The design radiators have been coated with an additional anti-corrosion layer. The coating makes the radiators particularly robust and therefore makes them suitable for rooms with an increased moisture load, such as bathrooms.

“Changed – unchanged” – that is the way the building complex “MY.O” (short for “My Office”) in the city district Laim in Munich is being seen. The office building with 1,000 work stations over a floor space of 27,000 m2 has been built by CA Immo München Nymphenburg GmbH & Co. KG and is considered to be the new focal point for Munich West. The special feature of MY.O is its unusual architecture with arch-shaped windows, some over two storeys high on both upper and lower floors, as well as the distinctive green colour of the facade. The architecture intentionally mirrors the contours of the industrial buildings from the 19th and early 20th century and pursues these in the partly loft-like, spacious room concept, designed to offer great versatility and a high quality abode. With its strong identity, MY.O makes a statement in the cityscape of Munich West. MY.O also offers numerous bicycle parking spaces, car parks, and charging stations for electric cars.
Kermi convectors have been installed in the offices. This are popular with their quick, effective heat output in front of large areas of glass. Apart from that, therm-x2 Plan radiators, as well as vertical Verteo steel panel radiators have been used.

The Max Bögl Group is an international construction company with its headquarters in Sengenthal near Neumarkt in Bavaria. Over the next few years, a campus is being created at the headquarters with office buildings, a technology centre, as well as a range of community facilities. The first four-storey building has been in use since August 2019 and with its open office space, creates opportunities for creative and communicative work. The other buildings will connect via a pedestrian axis which is part of an overarching open-space concept.
Kermi supplied panel temperature control over a surface area of a good 3000 square metres for this modern spatial concept. An additional manufacturing and servicing building on the site has also been fitted with around 2000 square metres of panel heating, including the connection system x-net connect plus. The combination with this system facilitates single room control with thermal insulation and increased sound insulation which complies with German Energy Conservation Regulations (EnEV).

With strong roots in Baden-Württemberg, the EnBW is one of the most important energy supply companies and service providers in Germany and Europe.

The company is expecting more efficient workflows and reinforcement of the company culture as a result of grouping everyone together. In addition to that, the new administration building was to demonstrate how to build in a way to protect the environment while being cost-effective. In comparison to the reference buildings, energy consumption is reduced here by up to 54 %, for example because of the one of the largest geothermal systems in Europe.
In this futuristic building, Kermi radiators provide comfortable warmth while being highly energy efficient.
