Visit Erne Holzbau in Stein

Members of the Chair of Sustainable Construction at ETH visited the company ERNE AG Holzbau

Erne

As a leading Swiss timber construction company, external page ERNE AG Holzbau is the technological development and realization partner for building solutions in element, modular, hybrid construction and integral window and facade systems. Upscale interior solutions, traditional carpentry and a comprehensive service complete the service profile for new construction and renovation projects.

ERNE AG Holzbau is planning to expand its offices in Stein/AG in the next few years. The new office building will be constructed as a timber-concrete composite support system together with cores made of clay. We were invited to visit the production of the clay walls and the storage of the finished walls, which are placed in a parking garage for drying. We learned many interesting facts about digital production and the challenge of making walls from excavated material. The large halls of Erne AG in which complete elements for buildings are produced, which are then only assembled on the construction site, was impressive.


The Chair of Sustainable Construction intends to ground sustainability in all disciplines involved in the built environment. For more information visit our Website.
