Renovation: Meng Joss House – Italian Style Street Latest heating technology in classical building saves over 50% of heating costs The Meng Joss House, an Italianate building in the “Italian Style Street” in Tianjin, had seen better days. The former barracks for Italian soldiers, con- sisting of two three-storey buildings of different heights, was in a desolate condition. Now, after renovation, it serves as a modern office building. The original form of the building was preserved. The newly installed heating equipment is inno- vative and extremely efficient: more than 50 % of the heating costs are saved. As part of this renovation project at No.12, Boai Street in Tianjing, ELCO designed and implemen- ted a particularly ecological solution. The building was fitted with an integrated heat pump, a solar installation for warm water processing, and a photovoltaic system. It was possible to preserve the historic substance of the building, which was technically modernised with great care to meet Customer Tianjin Construction Engi- neering Main Contracting Co., Ltd., No. 1 Kaihua Road, Huayuan Industrial Zone, High-Tech Industrial Park, Tianjin, PR China Planning and construction Tianjin Construction Engi- neering Main Contracting Co., Ltd., PR China the requirements of sustainable, environmentally friendly construction.
