IWAES

The aim of this transdisciplinary joint project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, was to develop a sustainable and resource-saving neighborhood concept. Urban planners, civil engineers and energy managers worked closely together. Based on the urban planning design by asp Architekten, the storage and withdrawal of heating and cooling energy was combined with optimized consumption profiles of various building uses in the sense of "energy master planning" in order to create a balanced annual heat budget. An efficient infrastructure for the distribution and storage of thermal energy was developed using a thermally activated hybrid channel. This has different operating modes: delivery, transport, storage, supply and withdrawal. The concept was developed on the basis of the future "Rosensteinquartier" in Stuttgart. The energy master planning process was also evaluated and further developed.
