Orona IDeO – innovation city is a project under construction which aims to develop an
Innovation Ecosystem for ORONA, which stands out as a space combining different
synergistic activities – company, technology centre and university – with a laboratory
where leading edge technologies for sustainability and building energy management are
applied.
Orona IDeO – innovation city is comprised of four buildings, each with its own character,
which, from conceptual design, have taken passive energy usage measures into account
by applying climatic design, and which have opted for simultaneous LEED Gold and BREEAM
Excellent certification. Thermal energy will be generated locally for all buildings via the
Orona IDeO District Heating-Cooling facility, whilst a large photovoltaic cover-façade will
be integrated into the Orona Zero building in order to produce energy for onsite
consumption, and provide a means of researching elevation system related new electricity
storage systems.
The project will also contain a showroom displaying real time building energy management
monitoring, and host visits to renewable energy production installations. In short, Orona
IDeO-innovation city will be a Net Zero Energy Campus innovator.
