HSLU researches the perfect house

Hier wird an der Gebäudetechnik der Zukunft geforscht. The generous donation from HSLU alumnus Leo Looser to the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts Foundation enables the Department of Engineering & Architecture to research the "perfect house" of the future. A very special building is currently under construction. This is intended to help further develop building technology and answer pressing questions about resource-saving heating, ventilation and cooling and to bring together environmental protection and people's comfort needs. A new research module stands on the roof of the laboratory building in Horw, clearly visible to everyone coming from the station. It is a building on top of a building, 8 x 8 meters in plan and 4 meters high, has windows and doors and does not show at first glance what it can do. It conceals two research rooms and a technical room packed with building technology.
