Renovation of the townhall Neumarkt
Neumarkt in Styria, Province of Styria, Austria
The original building was erected around 1700 and has been adapted to various uses over time. After the merging of the municipalities, the ground floor of the building was to house the sovereign administration with registration office, citizen service, staff area, meeting room, an office for general consultation days and public toilets. On the upper floor the rooms for the office management, the mayor incl. secretariat, the finance department and the archive were to be accommodated. The newly constructed attic was to be used for additional archive space and a meeting room.
The additional use of the attic increased the gross floor area from 1,581m² to 1,933m².
The space heating and hot water preparation took place so far electrically. In future, space heating and hot water preparation will be provided by district heating (renewable).
In the course of the thermal energetic building renovation the exterior walls (partly also with interior insulation), the roofs and the floors will be newly insulated. The existing box windows are either renovated (glass replacement and optimisation of the connection joints) or renewed. The renovation will reduce the average U-value of the building from 1.83 to 0.55 W/m²K.
