Timber: a renewable
building material
Timber is the building material of the future. It is renewable, locks up CO₂, bears high loads and has a low self-weight. In Timber Factory, around 8,000 cubic metres of wood are used for the timber-hybrid supporting structure alone, meaning that around 8,000 tonnes of CO₂ are locked up over the long term. Besides this, wood is used extensively for the facade panelling and in the interior.
Timber Factory has a flexible design that allows the materials to be used in manifold ways when the building has come to the end of its lifetime. Deconstruction allows the top-quality timber construction elements to be dismantled into individual parts and then processed into furniture and materials such as paper and wood pellets. The carbon cycle is complete when the wood is composted or used thermally.
Sustainable
operation
operation
Timber Factory works with an integrative energy concept consisting of various regenerative energy sources such as heat pumps and photovoltaic systems that minimize the primary energy factor. The energy supply is entirely free of fossil fuels. Altogether, this results in the lowest possible energy consumption with the greatest possible degree of independence. The campus therefore corresponds to the progressive requirements of the EU Taxonomy, and it is aiming for Platinum certification from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).
Heat from the air
All buildings at Timber Factory use modern, highly efficient heat pumps to produce climate-friendly heating. Local extraction of renewable energy has an extra benefit, as it enables stable calculation of energy costs as well.
Solar-generated
electricity
Photovoltaic systems are installed on all campus buildings to provide a share of the power needed for Timber Factory. This not only makes a valuable contribution towards protecting the climate, it also reduces tenant energy costs.
Easing the burden on
sewer systems
The natural water cycle is preserved by collecting the entire volume of rainwater and channelling it into a collecting tank filled with gravel. From there, the water can trickle away into the groundwater.
Quality seal
for sustainable building
Certifications create transparency and allow comparison; they are a guarantee of sustainability during construction and their strict requirements contribute to future-proofing building projects.
Timber Factory is striving for DGNB certification in Platinum for all of its buildings, and also for sustainable dismantling of the existing structures.

Timber Factory meets the criteria of the EU Taxonomy for environmental objective 1 and also makes a “substantial contribution towards mitigating climate change” (E).
Together with the integration of sociocultural requirements (S) specified by the EU Taxonomy as well as the ESG rating of the project developer which ensures Governance requirements (G), all ESG aspects are officially documented. In addition, everything has been set in place to enable tenants to use the building with the greatest possible degree of sustainability.

Sensor technology for building controls
Smart sensors control lighting, ventilation, heating and cooling while providing real-time comfort and energy efficiency in buildings and at workplaces.
Interactive
tenant dashboard
tenant dashboard
The consumption of electricity, heat, cooling and water is recorded on an ongoing basis, and also displayed 24/7 on an online dashboard.
Energy-saving LED lighting
The communal areas are fitted with energy-saving LED lamps with direct and indirect lighting and daylight sensor technology.
Digital tenant communication
Lessors are easily able to communicate with their tenants quickly and directly using digital tools.
Energy management system
Heating, cooling, sunshades and lighting are controlled automatically.
Ventilation
All rental space can be ventilated mechanically. The ventilation can also be adapted to suit building use.
The climate change transition will not happen without intelligent buildings. Up to 30% energy can be saved if building technology systems are adapted to how rental space is actually used. Timber Factory is equipped with efficient, resource-friendly and intelligent management of operating costs, which optimizes working environments and spotlights tenant health.

Office with industrial flair
The visible wooden construction exudes warmth and comfort. A loft-like character is created by the open-plan design with high ceilings and visible technology.
Spaces for light-industrial solutions
The main features of the light-industrial spaces in Buildings 1 and 2 are their ceiling heights, floor load capacity, goods lifts and ground-level delivery. All in all, these are ideal conditions that help solve complex development projects.
State-of-the-art laboratory space
The overall concept for Timber Factory provides the resources for state-of-the-art laboratory space.
Higher air change rates and constant space cooling enable a wide range of laboratory uses – with safety levels S1 and S2 – at any time.

“Our jointly developed concept of bundling commercial enterprises ensures that many different types of use remain in the city. I believe it is a forward-looking approach to combine this with office use and additionally achieve a compatible level of integration into an environment with residential use as well – for all cities where the property market is strained.”
Location
A dynamic development in the west
Timber Factory is being built on Baubergerstraße, in the direct vicinity of Moosach railway station. The district of Moosach offers many opportunities for leisure and is increasingly developing into a popular residential area. By 2040, more than 6,000 new apartments will be created here.
Location
The direct proximity to Meile Moosach shopping centre, to the main road Allacher Straße, and also to Moosach railway station, offers ideal conditions for a new urban commercial site in the heart of Munich’s west.
The outstanding public transport connections at Moosach railway station (suburban trains, subway trains, trams and buses) reduce the number of cars on the roads. The short distance to the Mittlerer Ring ringroad and to the A99 motorway makes the campus an ideal location for companies and their employees.
