07.07.2017 - The Ministry of the Environment in Thuringia has increased the funding for the Solar Invest Programme by a further 1.3 million euros as of 1 July 2017. After Erfurt already increased the originally planned funding amount of 2.5 million euros by 1.9 million euros in April, a total of 5.7 million euros are available for this year [...]
The ForschungsVerbund Erneuerbare Energien (FVEE) is today publishing its latest conference volume entitled "Research for the energy transition - shaping the energy system". The papers collected here from the last annual conference present current research findings and instruments for a successful energy transition. The spectrum of contributions ranges from scenarios for the transformation of the [...]
The Bavarian Solar Energy Promotion Association (SeV) is offering the 27,000 euro competition for architecturally and technically sophisticated solar systems for the 7th time The use of solar energy in and on buildings is a central topic in the context of energy-efficient construction. Solar technology systems should be a natural component of innovative building envelopes as well as building blocks of energy-efficient renovation. The task [...]
According to the PC Price Index, prices for photovoltaic modules from all regions of the world fell by an average of over 15 % to between €0.40 and €0.57/Wp in the last 12 months.
Further decreasing investment costs for PV, wind and electric storage expected: In this regard, the Agency for Renewable Energies (AEE) publishes a new meta-analysis today. It compares the investment costs reported in 15 studies for a total of 11 energy technologies, including offshore and onshore wind energy, photovoltaics and solar thermal energy.
Even after the EEG reform, most photovoltaic systems on buildings are economical to operate. sonnen GmbH from Wildpoldsried offers a "sonnenFlat". This is particularly interesting for those who already have a PV system and are thinking about adding a battery, but also for anyone planning to purchase a PV system in 2017.
In 2013, ABG FRANKFURT HOLDING built an apartment building with 17 residential units at Cordierstraße 4 in Frankfurt am Main as a passive house with energy gain in an existing neighbourhood. The specified orientation of the new replacement building, which is unfavourable for solar optimisation, posed particular challenges in achieving an energy surplus in the [...]
Support for solar houses with large photovoltaic and solar thermal systems for heat, electricity and mobility remains constantly high "Solar houses with large photovoltaic and solar thermal systems for the climate-friendly generation of electricity and heat are not affected by the changes in the amended Renewable Energy Sources Act." Rainer Körner, 2nd chairman of the Sonnenhaus-Institut e.V., points this out. Since [...]
A film by French philosopher Philippe Simay on arte.tv In this episode, the philosopher visits the region of Vorarlberg in Austria, the international model for ecological and sustainable architecture.
Vision 2020 The municipality of Wüstenrot wants to be energy self-sufficient by 2020. The project "EnVisaGe - Development of a municipal plus-energy concept using the example of the municipality of Wüstenrot" is part of the EnEff:Stadt initiative and describes how, in addition to reducing primary energy use and CO₂ emissions (keyword "decarbonisation"), independence from energy imports can be achieved and local value creation strengthened [...].
The renovation project "Efficiency House Plus in Old Buildings" shows how two dilapidated rows of houses from the 1930s can be brought up to plus energy levels - and in some cases that good architecture can be created in the process. Read more on the DETAIL website
The renovation project "Efficiency House Plus in Old Buildings" shows how two ramshackle rows of houses from the 1930s can be brought up to plus energy levels - and in some cases that good architecture can be created in the process. Location: Pfuhler Strasse 4-8 and 10-14, D-89231 Neu-Ulm Architects: Werner Sobek Stuttgart and o5 architekten bda - raab hafke lang Client: NUWOG [...]
A broad alliance of chambers, the housing industry, trade unions, environmental and nature conservation associations as well as consumer and social associations joined forces in June 2016 to form a "NRW Building Alliance for Climate Protection". The aim of the alliance is to promote climate protection in the areas of housing and construction and to introduce jointly developed priorities into the political arena. The [...]
In Brütten near Zurich in Switzerland, an apartment building with nine rental apartments that is not connected to the energy grid has now been inaugurated. "The rental costs are no higher than elsewhere. The most important energy source is photovoltaic modules. Schmid has had an electrolyser installed in the basement as a long-term storage facility for the solar power. The device uses [...]
Several federal ministries launched new funding programmes and research initiatives in April. The common goal is to promote affordable and climate-friendly construction in order to advance the energy transition through energy-efficient and climate-friendly buildings. The building sector accounts for around 40 percent of Germany's final energy consumption and about one third of CO2 emissions. At the same time, the potential for energy and CO2 savings [...]
Since April 2016, there have been interesting changes at KfW Bank for sustainable construction: Houses in the "KfW 40" or "KfW 55" efficiency house standard will in future be eligible for an interest subsidy of €100,000 instead of €50,000, and the subsidy will double as a result. In addition, the KfW 70 house will be eligible for subsidies from the L-Bank [...].

The new housing development "Ludmilla Wohnpark" was built in Landshut with more than 180 residential units in plus-energy construction. Five single-family houses, two semi-detached houses, six terraced houses and eight multi-family houses with a total of 55 apartments were built on a plot of around 7,300 square metres. Researchers from Munich University of Applied Sciences and the Technical University of Dresden are evaluating the quarter [...].
With the many successful, new examples of façade integration of photovoltaics and solar thermal energy, the pages starting on p.36 are particularly interesting for architects. In addition, the study provides detailed fundamentals of building-integrated solar-active systems and shows their potential. Hegger, Manfred; Drebes, Christoph; Wurzbacher, Steffen (2015): benefit E - Gebäudeintegrierte solaraktive Systeme (Final Report), [...].
The internationally renowned electrosmog expert Dr. Klaus Trost explains which electromagnetic radiation is emitted by PV systems, the magnitude of this radiation and what to look out for when installing the system components.
With more than 1,700 completed 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". Read the further in the [...]
The six 72-square-meter apartments of the GBB Plusenergiehaus on Südring are intended for tenants who have a certificate of eligibility for housing. Demand was high. Even before completion, all of the apartments, which were ready for occupancy from May 2015, were already occupied.
Prof. Dipl.-Ing. M.Sc. Econ. Manfred Hegger, gave a lecture on 26 November 2014 at the 6th North German Passive House Conference in Neumünster on the topic "Aktivplus im Blick: Guiding Thoughts - Implementation - Perspectives".
The municipal council of the city of Wels has adopted a declaration on passive house construction. In it, the magistrate is instructed to strive for the energy-saving passive house standard in all new buildings and renovations of the city and municipal enterprises. The godfather for this resolution, which was passed unanimously, was apparently the city of Frankfurt a.M., which, according to current political resolutions, will in future [...]
