A regenerative heat supply and an innovative rainwater management system are being designed for the "ecoSquare" neighbourhood in Bamberg. Michael Richter and Wolfgang Dickhaut are in charge of the project.
The neighbourhood is to be supplied with heating and cooling via a cold local heating ring. At the same time, the local heating ring serves to balance out heating and cooling needs that arise at the same time. The goal is the additional use of two rainwater cisterns with a total capacity of 126 m³ for heating and cooling purposes in the neighbourhood.
For this purpose, an AI-based predictive control technology is being developed. A further goal of the control strategy is a rainwater balance without runoff into the canal and the use of rainwater to irrigate the greenery. In addition, the project is investigating questions regarding the treatment of rainwater and the changed biodiversity, as well as analysing building permit processes. The completion of construction will be followed by monitoring and operational optimisation.
Background
Against the background of the political targets of net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045, there is an increasing demand for renewable energy sources in the building sector. At the same time, advancing climate change is causing increasing phenomena such as heat islands and heavy rainfall events.
The project is an example of how climate protection and climate impact adaptation measures can be combined at neighbourhood level and integrated into building and planning practice in the future.

Daniel Fuhrhop published the book "Verbietet das Bauen!" by oekom Verlag on 24 August 2015. The blog bears the same title and messages on the topic are published accordingly.
The central thesis in Fuhrhop's book and blog: "Building new is often associated with waste and prestige addiction, always expensive and often uneconomical; it harms the environment and promotes social division in our cities." In the book, alternatives are presented.

"With all kinds of regulations, cities want to ensure sufficient and cheap parking spaces. But economically this is nonsense. It is higher earners who are subsidised. Parking thus becomes a question of justice."

While two large providers are planning a merger, another company is entering the market in Munich with Oply. But it is still open when the city can actively promote the rental system.
