"The use of sustainable building materials, such as the glass fibre reinforced concrete as facade material, is key for the long service life of such a building," added Rieder. "The material also guarantees absolute safety and fire resistance due to its excellent thermal properties and is assigned to fire protection class A1 'non-combustible' according to DIN 4102."
