"A quarter of a century ago, Bernd Janes looked for like-minded comrades-in-arms and founded an ecologically oriented housing estate on the outskirts of Kohlhof. At first, the new neighbors were eyed critically by the surrounding community. No wonder, because the houses were built in wood, four families shared one house and the gardens were not separated from each other by fences, but merged seamlessly into each other."

Solar houses scientifically evaluated

bine-info-logoWith more than 1,700 realised buildings, SolarActiveHouses are no longer a marginal phenomenon. What has been missing so far is a scientific evaluation of this heat supply concept. To this end, researchers have measured nine solar houses over several heating periods. The responsible project manager Gerhard Stryi-Hipp presented the interim results at the OTTI symposium "Thermal Solar Energy".

Thuringia: First federal state with sustainability advisory council in parliament

Already in December, the state parliament, with the votes of the red-red-green coalition, had a decision The state has adopted a resolution on how it intends to implement the 2030 Agenda for Global Sustainable Development and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on the ground.

For the first time ever in a federal state, the state parliament in Erfurt is thus also setting up a "Parliamentary Advisory Council on Sustainable Development".

Hamburg's largest timber house celebrates topping-out ceremony

Foto: Frank SchneidereitIn Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg, the city's largest wooden house celebrated its topping-out ceremony on Thursday. The six floors consist of 371 pre-assembled wooden modules that are stacked on top of each other. The individual modules weigh more than nine tons and are virtually ready-made student apartments, including bathroom, kitchenette and bed. Only the foundation and staircases are made of concrete. "The construction could revolutionize the way residential buildings are built," said developer Torsten Rickmann at the topping-out ceremony on Thursday. The dormitory should be ready for occupancy as early as the winter semester. A furnished apartment will cost 500 euros warm rent per month. The first students are expected to move in as early as October 1.

The design for the wooden student dormitory comes from the Berlin architectural office and timber construction award winner Sauerbruch Hutton. The wooden modules were manufactured by the Vorarlberg-based company Kaufmann Bausysteme. "We decided on the modular construction method because the series production and the high degree of prefabrication drastically shorten the construction time," says Achim Nagel from the developer Primus developments.
