Building in the Swiss Alps is demanding; Bauen in den Alpen ist anspruchsvoll

Abstract

This article examines the high requirements placed on the construction of buildings in alpine areas. In particular, the requirements placed by the new Monte-Rosa mountaineers' lodge and the new revolving restaurant on top of the Hohen Kasten mountain in Switzerland are examined. The demanding requirements placed on the building-technological and energy aspects of such alpine buildings are looked at. Energy production and storage aspects and energy use are discussed and the use of well-tried conventional technology is noted. Also, the importance of carrying out simulations of the systems is stressed.
