The Lufthansa Aviation Center is one of the first buildings in Germany to officially call itself a "Green Building". The reason for this is not merely the nine gardens, which, as natural "lungs", support the air conditioning of the building, but state-of-the-art technologies and highly effective thermal insulation. The LAC therefore requires significantly less heating energy than comparable buildings.
The LAC thus symbolizes the sense of responsibility of the Group, which continuously invests in a modern, energy-efficient fleet.
