Iconic passive complex for Brussels Environment Brussels Institute for Environmental Management (IBGE-BIM) is the largest passive office in Belgium (16.725 mÂ˛), focused on very low energy use and sustainÂability.

Maars Jansen installed 6.250 mÂ˛ of partition walls in the BIM. From the design phase onwards, the architectural design team of CEPEZED and Maars Jansen recorded the Due to the requirement of increased sound insulation, some walls have a thickness of 155 mm.

choice of materials step by step without losing sight of the acoustic requirements - taking account of natural and recycled materials, the quality of glazing, the use of daylight, rainwater recovery, and so on.

The unique atrium and the classic U-shape of the building provide an abundance of daylight for all. An exceptional feature is the curved ceiling which the glass elements follow seamlessly. The atrium consists of 7 floors; 6 floors with an height of 3.500 mm per floor, the ground floor has an exceptional height of 5.260 mm.
