In the central building "Magnolia" in "Kennedy Garden", the structural thermal break Schöck Isokorb ensures the thermal efficient connection of the wall panels and the various balconies and loggias, thus contributing to sustainable construction.

As part of the structural design, the load-bearing thermal insulation element Schöck Isokorb thermally separates the complex arrangement of loggias and balconies, thereby minimising thermal bridges.

Schöck Isokorb was integrated into prefabricated concrete elements for the wall connections.

In Vienna's 14th district of Penzing, not far from the eponymous Kennedy Bridge, the "Kennedy Garden", a project showcasing sustainable and contemporary living, has been under construction since September 2020 on behalf of BUWOG. Six individually designed buildings are spread across the site and will provide space for 512 residential units. The new residential neighbourhood is characterised by a green park landscape and private open spaces for future residents. The project was awarded the Greenpass silver certificate for planning and architecture - an internationally recognised proof of quality for the climate resilience of buildings, neighbourhoods and open spaces in new and existing buildings.
Schöck Isokorb® makes a decisive contribution to the energy-efficient building envelope. As part of the structural system, the structural thermal break thermally separates the complex arrangement of loggias and balconies and thus contributes to sustainable construction by minimising thermal bridges. Without professional insulation, the numerous cantilevers would act like cooling fins, driving up heating costs and reducing the building's climate performance. In addition, cooled slabs and walls lead to an increased risk of mould. This not only reduces the quality of living, but also harms the health of the residents and is a risk to the building structure.
