Syn[EN]ergy - Synergiepotenziale zwischen Stadtplanungszielen und Photovoltaiknutzung auf Freiflächen

Freiflächen wie Großparkplätze, Brachen oder manche Kategorien von Erholungsflächen bieten ein bislang wenig genutztes Potenzial für Photovoltaik-Anwendungen im urbanen Raum. Im Rahmen von Syn[En]ergy wurden Synergien und Konfliktpotenziale der PV gegenüber anderen Nutzungen untersucht, planerische Lösungsvorschläge für konkrete Freiflächen unter Berücksichtigung ökonomischer, stadtplanerischer, gestalterischer, rechtlicher und sozialer Aspekte entwickelt und die Ergebnisse gemeinsam mit Stakeholdern aus Wirtschaft, Verwaltung und Gesellschaft bewertet.

Basic research on fixing elements: drawing up universal design guidelines for high resilience mechanical jointing techniques for insulation products

The objective of this project is to explore mechanical insulant-fixing connections. Unconventional but concrete fixing techniques are the focus of the investigation. The use of insulants as "lost" casing will also be studied in depth.

Integrated ecological and energy-oriented refurbishment of service buildings - development of quality criteria and tools within a pilot project (LCC-ECO)

Formulation of a procedure for the general refurbishment of service buildings and development of guidelines to support building owners and facility-managers in each stage of the refurbishment process in order to reach an integrated ecological and energy-oriented refurbishment.

Booklet issued by Building of Tomorrow with about 20 practical passive house thermal bridges free connection details for large-volume residential buildings

In particular, for buildings with very low energy consumption on heating the influence of heat bridges have a special value. Since in passive house construction a largely heat bridge free execution is required, the most frequent and significant heat bridges are collected in a booklet.

Syn[En]ergy: Development of Potential Synergy Effects between the Interdependency of Urban Planning goals and Photovoltaic Usage on Open Urban Landscapes

Open spaces such as parking lots, brownfields and some categories of recreation areas offer an underutilised potential for photovoltaics in urban regions. In the course of Syn[En]ergy an inter- and transdisciplinary approach potential synergies and conflicts with other use demands were investigated, a typology and practical solutions for selected areas with regard to requirements from economy, urban planning and design, legal as well social aspects developed, and then evaluated by stakeholders from enterprises, administration and the general public.
