The solar chimney provides for natural ventilation. The sun heats the chimney, which draws the air out naturally.
The greenhouse delivers heat for the entire building as the air is heated by the sun. The greenhouse purifies the air.
Ahead of the project, the council paid lots of attention to the composition of the right design team with the right ‘mindset’. Normally, the architect in a tender is chosen based on a design. In this case, the firm of architects was chosen based on their vision on C2C and sustainability.
Waste segregation and management.
The performance of the building is continuously and visibly monitored. That contributes to the awareness of the employees and lower energy consumption.
The voids are designed to create an airflow that is as natural as possible (less mechanical ventilation needed). Great spatial diversity with meaningful transparency and sight axes.
The rainwater is captured and used to water the green facade.Over time, the water streams will be separated even more.
The sun is an important source of energy. Sunlight is converted into energy and the light and heat is used as much as possible and wherever possible. Groundwater also contributes to clean energy. Energy losses are counteracted as far as possible. In this way the energy costs will be low.
The green facade works like a green lung to produce clean air for the people and the town. The air streams through the building thanks to natural ventilation. The healthy air is good for the productivity of employees.
The helophyte filter (a sort of reed bed) purifies rainwater and wastewater from washbasins and toilets, combats heat stress in the patio and ensures a green environment and greater biodiversity.

Energy is stored in the form of heat or cold in the groundwater. The TES (Thermal Energy Storage) is prepared for exchange of heat and cold with future functions in that area.
The new city hall, or “stadskantoor” embodies Venlo’s ambition to have the town and region function based on Cradle to Cradle (C2C) principles. The building is not merely sustainable (‘less bad’), but delivers a positive contribution to man, the environment and economy.
The focus of the design for the building is on the following themes (people, planet, profit).
