P2’s façade combines straight, polygonal and curved constructions. Its intricate detailing placed high demands on design, fabrication and installation. The jury recognised this technical achievement and craftsmanship with the Special Metal Construction Award within the Aluminium Architecture Award 2020.

The presentation took place in Innsbruck on 6 October 2021. Alongside metal contractor Sauritschnig, the award honoured LAAC, PEMA as client, AluKönigStahl and Piesslinger. It also recognises the collaboration between the companies involved in delivering the façade.

The refurbishment carefully preserved the historic fabric of the former bank headquarters while opening it to new uses. Restored spaces and materials now accommodate contemporary work, retail and leisure activities. Collaboration with Austria’s Federal Monuments Authority was an integral part of the project.

The Austrian Sustainable Building Council (ÖGNI) issued the DGNB Gold certificate on 7 December 2022. It records the completed certification of the refurbishment. On PEMA’s behalf, the sustainability assessment was supported by DI Reinhard Labugger of RM Engineering.

In addition to its DGNB Gold certification, Haus am Schottentor holds a separate EU Taxonomy verification issued by ÖGNI. It addresses acquisition and ownership under the climate change mitigation objective.

The documented scope, issue date of 19 December 2022 and underlying Taxonomy version of 4 June 2021 define the assessment. The verification therefore records a specific assessment at a given time. It is distinct from the building certification and from ongoing assessment against subsequently amended requirements.

P1 Headline transformed the former postal site at Innsbruck Central Station into a development combining a hotel, offices, a court and retail space. Henke Schreieck’s design brings these uses together as a new urban landmark on Brunecker Strasse. The building was completed in 2012.

Gold certification under LEED for Core & Shell followed in April 2014. The certificate identifies the project as “PEMA HEADLINE”, documenting P1’s completed certification status.

P2’s sustainability objectives were assessed during planning and preparation for construction. They addressed efficient use of energy and water and the avoidance of environmental impacts during construction. The development combines 173 homes and business apartments with Innsbruck’s City Library.

The LEED Gold precertificate dates from September 2016. It records the assessment at that project stage and is distinct from final certification of the completed building. P2 was completed in 2018.

The LEED document dated March 2019 identifies PEMA 3 under LEED v4, Building Design and Construction: Hospitality, at Gold level. It relates to the early assessment of the project and records precertification. This is distinct from final certification of the completed building.

P3 adds a mixed-use building with a hotel, offices and retail space to Innsbruck’s station district. This sustainability document belongs to P3 and is presented separately from the LEED records for P1 and P2.
