German term or phrase: ungebrannte Lehmsteine
Über alle Geschosse hinweg trennt eine Wand aus ungebrannten Lehmsteinen den Flurbereich von den Büroräumen ab. Die offenporige Struktur der Lehmsteine fördert eine ausgeglichene Raumluftfeuchte im gesamten Gebäude. Die hohe Speichermasse der Wand erhöht den Anteil der nutzbaren Sonnenenergiegewinne.
