Healthy high-rise insulation
The "Taborama" residential tower in Vienna's Leopoldstadt district rises 60 metres into the sky. The residential building has it all in the truest sense of the word: it is the first high-rise building in Austria in which natural sheep's wool was used as ecological interior insulation throughout the entire residential tower.
The sustainable residential building in Vienna's Nordbahnviertel neighbourhood has 19 floors and houses entire 213 freehold flats. The diverse floor plans of the flats offer maximum flexibility, while generous private open spaces invite you to relax. In addition, there are numerous communal areas, including a garden and a chic Rooftop pool at lofty heights.
But the most exciting thing about this project is that the residential building combines extreme comfort with a environmentally friendly approach united. When building the Taborama, particular emphasis was placed on energy-efficient solutions, low energy consumption and optimum thermal insulation. And this is where we come into play with our sustainable ISOLENA thermal insulation.
The Taborama high-rise sets a milestone in sustainable construction by being the first 29.000 m2 Sheep's wool insulation as interior insulation is used. The use of this ecological insulation material alone has enabled the Taborama project to achieve a significant reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional mineral wool. 47,000 kg of CO2 saved become.

" The use of particularly sustainable and ecological sheep's wool as interior insulation is a trend-setter for multi-storey residential construction and is to be used in future not only in major STRABAG Real Estate projects in residential construction, but also in commercial construction both nationally and internationally.

Ecological and sustainable values and principles played a major role in the planning and construction. The modern Taborama high-rise corresponds to the Class A low-energy standard and is known as klimaaktiv buildings declared in accordance with the quality requirements of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Protection.
"The origin, quality and production of our ISOLENA sheep's wool insulation was also critically scrutinised," explains Helga Haslehner, project manager for the STRABAG project at ISOLENA.
"We use 100 % pure new wool as our starting product. No adhesives or synthetic support fibres are used during further processing. In addition to the outstanding CO2 balance, the health aspect was also an important decision criterion for STRABAG. When it came to choosing the insulation material, those responsible ultimately opted for our high-quality sheep's wool insulation and thus also in favour of the environment and the quality of life of the residents." Helga Haslehner concludes her project feedback.
