Around 900 BSH employees now work in Berlin at the Technology Center Laundry opened in 2011.<ref>BSH Corporate Archives, A05-0034, inform 3/2011, page 4f.</ref> The task here is to develop the most efficient and sustainable washing machines, dryers and washer-dryers possible for the international market. With three acoustics labs and a virtual reality lab, the high-tech site creates the best conditions for product development. In addition, the site is also home to areas such as project management, quality management, industrial engineering, information technology and the supply chain. 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.<ref>BSH Berlin Site Overview Flyer, pages 1-6.</ref> To remain a leading innovator, the technology center has been cooperating intensively with Berlin universities since it was founded. | Around 900 BSH employees now work in Berlin at the Technology Center Laundry opened in 2011.<ref>BSH Corporate Archives, A05-0034, inform 3/2011, page 4f.</ref> The task here is to develop the most efficient and sustainable washing machines, dryers and washer-dryers possible for the international market.
