架构师提供的文本描述。在赢得一场竞争之后，我们受命建造红外西部公司的新办公室。在这场竞赛中，红外公司的高度雄心必须以一种与其公司特性相匹配和增强的强有力的概念设计来表达。其独特的生态价值和可持续价值在本项目中得到了体现，它比喻了一片森林，其中许多细长的混凝土树干顶部覆盖着一片绿色的“树冠”。

Text description provided by the architects. We were commissioned to build Infrax West’s new offices after winning a competition in which Infrax’s high degree of ambition had to be expressed in a strong conceptual design that matched and enhanced its corporate identity. Their characteristic ecological and sustainable values were given expression in this project by using a metaphor for a forest in which a host of slender concrete trunks were topped with a broad green ‘crown’.

作为公用事业服务提供商(电力、天然气、有线电视和下水道)，红外系统在可持续性和节能建筑方面树立了一个重要的榜样。INFRAX已经为他们在Torhout的新的区域办事处制定了一个需求计划，在能源效率、舒适性和灵活性方面具有非常具有挑战性的目标。

As a utilities service provider (electricity, natural gas, cable television and sewerage), Infrax sets an important example concerning sustainability and energy efficient building. Infrax has drawn up a program of requirements with very challenging objectives concerning energy efficiency, comfort and flexibility for their new regional office in Torhout.

各种生态创新技术，如集成光伏板的技术前墙，钻孔储能场(BEO场)和核心混凝土激活(BKA)已在整个建筑中得到应用。

Diverse eco-innovative techniques such as a technical front wall with integrated photovoltaic panels, a borehole energy storage field (BEO field) and core concrete activation (BKA) have been applied throughout the building.

这些技术的使用已经节省了42%的一次能源，并大大改善了舒适性。建筑E标准的计算值为E60，K值为K44.能源使用量的下降每年将节省大约3万欧元。

The use of these technologies has yielded primary energy savings of 42% and a significant improvement in comfort. The calculated value of the building’s E-standard is E60 and the K value is K44. The drop in energy use will save around €30,000 each year.

设计的中心支柱是创造出一堵创新的墙，它既是字面上的绿色，也是隐喻性的绿色。它是用不同的“皮”建造的，允许它为建筑物调节光线、空气和声音。外皮由3种颜色和3度透明的丝网印刷玻璃板组成。所有这些元素所形成的马赛克和墙壁巧妙的建筑，为建筑的表现力和活力做出了明确的贡献。

The central pillar of the design is the creation of an innovative wall that is both literally and metaphorically green. It is construction in different ‘skins’, allowing it to regulate light, air and sound for the building. The outer skin consists of screen printed glass panels in 3 colours and three degrees of transparency. The mosaic formed by all these elements and the wall’s ingenious construction have made an unmistakable contribution to the building’s expressive and dynamic character.

该项目由于其先进的生态创新技术和对地方和区域经济发展的重要性，得到了欧洲区域发展基金的补贴。新的红外办公大楼的低能耗概念也是由佛兰德能源署和佛兰芒政府的环境、自然和能源部共同资助的结果。

The project receives a subsidy from the European Fund for Regional Development because of its advanced eco-innovative technologies and importance for local and regional economic development. The new Infrax office building’s low energy concept was also made possible by co-financing by the Flemish Energy Agency and the Flemish government’s Environment, Nature and Energy (LNE) department.
