New brochure "35 climate protection settlements in NRW

In its latest special report, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has emphasised the need for massive cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. With its "100 Climate Protection Housing Estates in NRW" project, North Rhine-Westphalia is pursuing the goal of significantly reducing these emissions by combining energy-efficient buildings with low-greenhouse gas building technology. 35 of these energy-efficient climate protection housing estates have already been completed. A further 50 housing estates are under construction and in the planning stage.

The new brochure "100 climate protection housing estates in NRW - role models for energy-efficient housing construction" presents the spectrum of the 35 projects realised to date on 56 pages. From Aachen to Bielefeld, from Kleve to Siegen, owner-occupied homes, retirement homes, housing association projects and publicly subsidised flats have been built throughout the state.

Head of the topic area Andreas Gries from the EnergyAgency.NRW: "The 5,000 residents of these estates benefit from low energy costs and contribute to climate protection at the same time." According to the publishers, some of the estates achieve greenhouse gas savings of 80 to 90 per cent compared to standard developments.

The brochure is available here as a pdf download or can also be ordered as a printed version free of charge can be ordered:
