Project insights: Research for the energy transition
Smart Green Tower becomes an energy producer
The Smart Green Tower is being built in the city of Freiburg. The 51 m high residential and commercial building will have a building envelope made of
moreThree identical residential buildings refurbished to different energy standards
Prefabricated, storey-high insulation elements enable a short construction time. Vacuum insulation reduces the structural thickness.
moreHistoric facades require special detail solutions
Use of vapour-permeable internal thermal insulation with calcium silicate panels.
moreLow Temperature Replaces Coal Infrastructure
Many cities and municipalities have committed themselves to ambitious climate protection targets for reducing CO2 emissions.
moreModernisation and expansion of a high-rise ensemble
Newly developed solar shading element made of glass with intermediate expanded metal allows transparency.
moreTU Darmstadt networks electricity, heating and cooling
For its Campus Lichtwiese, the Technische Universität Darmstadt is aiming to realise the energy transition
moreAvoiding standstill of geothermal plants
A new patented system with two parallel filter units filters fine particles and protects the heat exchanger and injection well.
moreZero emissions for climate-neutral production and management
The aim was to supply the production and administration facilities with zero-emission energy in the annual balance. This objective was almost reached.
moreGeographical heat information and simulation system
In order to utilise climate protection potential, two Hamburg universities are developing a geodata-based heat information and simulation system.
