Translations:Der Standort Berlin/7/en

A conscious decision in favor of ecological construction was already made in the design of the technology center. Environmental protection is also very important in daily operations. For example, the heat from the 1,000 or so washing machines and dryers that are sometimes tested here around the clock is used in winter to heat the building. That's exactly how the newly developed products should contribute to resource conservation in the home. Thanks to new technologies, energy savings of more than 60 percent are achieved compared to similar appliances at the turn of the millennium. To remain a leading innovator, the technology center has been cooperating intensively with Berlin universities since it was founded.
