TCM Storage System Prototype in Container for integration in a single familiy house
The picture is showing a TCM storage system with 3 moduels in combination with a heat pump system and 2 m³ buffer storage installed in a container as complete storage system. The container is shipped to a single familiy housein Warsaw and installed next to the house to store surplus of solar thermal energy from summer and provide space heating in winter

Greening concept of the School at Kinkplatz
In addition to the climate and energy concept and the utilisation concept, effective synergies are created with greening measures on the façade, on the roof and in the interior. With innovative and coordinated integration of vegetation, the performance potential of building optimisation and energy measures can be increased.

Vertical farming concept for the School at Kinkplatz
During the exploratory project, the idea arose to use the school at Kinkplatz as a training centre for future urban farmers or vertical farmers. Special significance is attributed to the possibility of seeing food production as a central component of an overarching typological further development of the existing building as a training centre for urban vertical farming. This gives the school at Kinkplatz a unique selling point worldwide.

The former School at Kinkplatz at Night
Helmut Richter's school at Kinkplatz serves as a demonstration project for the GreenTech-Renovation exploratory project, as this building is a prime example of how topics can be dealt with in terms of sensible energy renovation.

Benefits of energy-efficient refurbishment using the example of the school at Kinkplatz
The transferability of the project helps to accelerate the renovation wave and focuses particularly on difficult buildings with high energy consumption. The strategies and findings from GreenTech-Renovation can be transferred to all buildings dating from the last 70 years with high proportions of glass and with intelligent adaptations even further.
