he ne monte rosa hut as !uilt !eteen sno; ice; "laciers an mountains in the mile o7 the

siss alps:

he hut serves as a "uest house 7or clim!ers; hikers an skiers:

here is a restaurant an accommoation 7or upto <0 people:

he !uilin" is not connecte to the "ri nor to a central ater suppl 7acilit:he onl access to hut is ! 7oot; or helicopter:

he pro=ect is a cooperation !eteen the siss 7eeral institute o7 technolo" %$ an the siss

alpine clu! )AC:

he hut as !uilt as a test o!=ect 7or sustaina!le construction in such e>treme conitions:

he aim as to emonstrate sel7 su77icienc an sustaina!ilit:

he hut 7eatures a uniue architecture that makes it an unmistaka!le pro=ect in the siss alps:

DES RIPTION:

DES RIPTION OF SPE IAL LO AL ONDITIONS:

he ne monte rosa hut is locate in the siss alps near 'ermatt at the 7oot o7 the mountain monte

rosa an other ?000 meters mountains locate in the area: !elo the hut is the "lacier calle

FINAN IAL S ALE:

construction cost 6:5 millons:



WATER :

)ince there is no connection to a central ater suppl 7acilit; service ater has to !e o!taine 7rom

meltin" ice:

For this purpose; a ater cavern as installe ?0 meters a!ove the hut here urin" summer ice is

melte to 7ill the cavern:

he sanitar 7acilities ere esi"ne to operate ith lo ater consumption:

he aste ater can !e store in a aste ater tank epenin" on the availa!le ener" 7or the

puri7ication process:

he sea"e is puri7ie in a compact aste ater treatment plant; hich consists o7 the mechanical

preGtreatment; the aeration tank; the 7iltration cham!er an the separate surplus slu"e stora"e

tank:

he puri7ie ater is use 7or the toilet 7lushin" an the ashin" machine:

BIOMASS:

the or"anic aste 7rom the kitchen is composte in a site a!ove the hut: 7urthermore there is no

nutrients recover 7rom the asteater: he slu"e 7rom the asteater treatment plant is 7lon !

helicopter to the valle an !urnt in the aste incineration plant:

WASTEWATER LEANING PRO ESS:

+7 the hutHs !atter an asteater tank are hal7 7ull an the immeiate 7orecast calls 7or

sunshine; the controller starts the poerGconsumin" asteater cleanin" process; thus

preventin" the !atter 7rom char"in" too uickl; hich oul leave solar ener"

unuse: +7 the 7orecast calls 7or !a eather; the cleanin" process is stoppe: Itherise

the !atterHs poer reserves mi"ht !e use up; necessitatin" a sitch to *. "as; a

scarce resource at this remote location:



90J o7 the ener" eman is covere ! solar ener"; i:e a photovoltaic sstem inte"rate into

the !uilin" 7asae an solar thermal collectors:

)urplus electricit is store in !atters:

he remainin" <0J ener" eman is supplie ! the rape oilG7ire co"eneration unit:

$oever the crucial element that ena!les such a hi"h level o7 ener" e77icienc an sel7G

su77icienc are not the sole technical installations:

+t is the inte"rative approach here each element is inte"rate into the sstem as a hole:

he per7ormance o7 the entire sstem is !ein" optimize in contrast to the optimization o7 the

sin"le element:

For this purpose a moel preictive re"ulatin" sstem is installe to control each element o7 the

sstem:

ENERGY:

he re"ulatin" sstem receives ata o7 the

eather 7orecast an the 7uture occupanc:
