The Klimahaus sits like a ship in the new Havenwelten tourist area. It actually consists of two separate reinforced concrete structures with a glass facade made of 3,800 curved panes of glass. The museum conveys basic information on the subject of climate and allows visitors to experience the different weather phenomena. For the building services equipment, this means that it must allow for a climatic range from dry polar air at -2°C to a tropical climate at 30°C and a relative humidity of 80%.

Thermal energy for the building is provided by energy piles and by utilizing CO₂-free energy resources from near-surface geothermal energy and waste heat from refrigeration. Part of the heat is supplied as district heating from a waste-to-energy plant. The majority of the cooling generation is based on the use of renewable energy consisting of the utilization of the outside air enthalpy (free cooling), the night cooling for the RLT technology as well as the free re-cooling and utilization of the near-surface geothermal energy.
