The "2226" project was completed in 2013 and received an outstanding response from the media. The reason is the clever design of this office building - it manages completely without air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems. "If today we are installing a disproportionate amount of air- and water-based services in buildings in order to create comfortable conditions, we should ask ourselves whether there are not more effective methods", says Dietmar Eberle. His building demonstrates that low-tech is an alternative to the Passivhaus with its extensive services installations. However, ecological and economical building should also meet architectural criteria - proportion, spatial effect, surface texture and light are essential components affecting the comfort of users.
The book documents this seminal model for a new architecture with a comprehensive range of photographs by Eduard Hueber, and uses drawings to explain the architectural and energy concepts. Knowledgeable essays by recognized experts on the perfectly balanced construction and function complete this unpretentious and yet sophisticated monograph of a building.

2226 ist die Zahl der wohltemperierten Architektur. Durch seine einzigartige Bauart garantiert das gleichnamige Gebäude von Baumschlager Eberle Architekten in seinen Räumen ganzjährig die menschliche Wohlfühltemperatur von 22 bis 26 Grad Celsius, ohne dass Fremdenergie zu- oder abgeführt werden muss. Das einzige Medium zur Regelung des Raumklimas ist die materielle Substanz des Gebäudes selbst.
Das Projekt 2226 war und ist deshalb bautechnisch wie architektonisch eine Herausforderung. Seine Realisierung ist in Zeiten des weltweiten Klimawandels und überbordender Haustechnik ein Gradmesser dafür, was Architektur mit ihren ureigenen Mitteln zu leisten vermag.
Mit lesenswerten Essays von Experten, attraktiven Fotografien und präzisen Plandarstellungen ist das Buch eine Einführung in diese neue, energieautonome Komfort-Architektur.
