With the Carlo Mierendorff School, an innovative learning environment has been created in Griesheim. Passive House standards, state-of-the-art technology, and an inclusive spatial concept combine comfort, sustainability, and pedagogical innovation.
The Carlo Mierendorff School opens a new chapter: the historic existing building has been carefully renovated and complemented by a modern new structure that sets new benchmarks for sustainable learning as a Passive House. The ensemble bridges tradition and the future—with bright, daylight-filled rooms, inclusive learning areas, a cafeteria as a central meeting point, and modern technology that enables climate-friendly and comfortable operation.
In this way, the school becomes not only a place of learning but also a model for the educational buildings of tomorrow. At the heart of the school lies its sustainable energy system, consisting of 18 geothermal probes reaching 150 meters deep. They provide heating and cooling according to Passive House standards. The building automation system connects heating, ventilation, lighting, and shading into an intelligent overall system that ensures energy efficiency, operational reliability, and comfort. The result is an infrastructure precisely tailored to the needs of a modern school environment.
ZWP designed the sanitary, heating, and ventilation systems as well as the building automation—laying the foundation for the school to function in everyday use exactly as the concept promises: energy efficient, comfortable, and future proof.
