On the south-western flank of the Königstuhl in Heidelberg, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is building a science centre for electron and light microscopy on its campus. At the centre of the open, light-flooded building are ultra-modern light and electron microscopes up to 4 m high. The utilisation concept places the highest demands on the rooms; for example, some may only have a temperature fluctuation of half a degree Celsius within 24 hours. The thermal envelope is therefore important, especially the thermal separation of the solid exterior components from the insulated building core. The highly complex construction can only be technically realised with the #SchöckIsokorb® XT type A or type F. The load-bearing thermal insulation element ensures the structural function of the precast parapets and at the same time thermally separates them from the inverted roof and the sensitive rooms below.
