BN - Is the roof of my house or company building suitable for a photovoltaic system or a solar thermal system? This question can now be answered quickly and conveniently online with the help of the new solar roof cadastre of the city of Bonn. In a building-specific map display, a coloured marker indicates whether and to what extent a roof is suitable for energy generation by means of solar power. Step by step, further information, for example on the economic efficiency, can be retrieved via a yield calculator.
The suitability of the roofs of all 129,000 buildings in the city for solar energy generation was recalculated using the latest, improved data. For this purpose, elevation grid data was used, which was determined by the district government of Cologne by means of laser scanning in spring 2016. Compared to the previous version from 2010, the new Bonn solar roof cadastre features, among other things, a fourfold higher resolution and a more differentiated designation of the roof areas.
The suitability of the roof surfaces for electricity generation via photovoltaic systems as well as for domestic water heating and, for the first time, also for supporting building heating via solar thermal collectors was calculated. The calculations also took into account the current changes in the framework conditions with regard to feed-in tariffs and self-consumption of generated solar power.
How the application works
In the city map, the installable system size and many additional data such as yields and savings potentials can be displayed for each building. In a newly developed yield calculator, costs and yields can be calculated and compared by entering additional user-specific information such as electricity consumption or household size. In this way, every owner can quickly gain an overview of the suitability of his or her building for the use of solar energy. Detailed instructions are available at www.bonn.de/...solardachkataster.php.
The City of Bonn points out that the information from the solar roof cadastre is an initial non-binding assessment. Essential prerequisites for a decision to build a system, such as the condition of the roof or the static suitability, can only be clarified by suitable specialist companies or qualified consulting organisations. Information on this can be found on the website of the solar roof register.
Bonn roofs have potential
According to the potential analysis of the solar roof cadastre, 6,800,000 square metres in Bonn are suitable for solar power generation. This corresponds to about the size of 950 football fields. Approximately 800,000 megawatt hours of electricity could be generated on this area. This could cover about 50 percent of the total electricity consumption in Bonn. For solar thermal energy, the result of the potential analysis shows 88,461 buildings in Bonn that could be used for this form of energy generation. This corresponds to about 70 percent of the buildings in Bonn.

The Ministry of the Environment in Rhineland-Palatinate has launched the funding programme "1,000 efficient stoves for Rhineland-Palatinate". Within the framework of this programme, the replacement of old fireplaces with modern wood-burning systems is financially supported if they were approved between 1 January 1985 and 1 January 1995. The subsidy amounts to up to 800 €. The subsidy programme is intended to help accelerate the dismantling of old appliances in accordance with the 2nd stage of the 1st BImSchV and to further improve air quality. A total of 500,000 euros is available. This measure covers all old single-room furnaces such as wood-burning stoves, heating and tiled stove inserts from the above-mentioned period that are fired with solid fuels such as logs, wood or lignite briquettes. In addition, the replacement of old oil stoves is also promoted if they are replaced by a modern wood-burning stove.

To date, over 500 neighbourhoods have applied for funding for energy-related neighbourhood concepts. A new brochure and a travelling exhibition present practical examples and recommendations for implementation.
The KfW Urban Energy Efficiency Programme was launched in autumn 2011. In the meantime, a wide range of experience has been gained in the development and implementation of strategies for energy-efficient neighbourhoods. The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety invited participants to Berlin in June 2016 to take stock. A report on this and downloads are available under the links:

Documentary film by Anna Ditges
When a major investor announces plans to build a shopping mall on a former industrial site in the middle of Cologne-Ehrenfeld, citizens' protests are heard. In her feature film "WEM GEHÖRT DIE STADT - Bürger in Bewegung" (90 min., 2014), filmmaker Anna Ditges tells of an existential confrontation between people with very different, often incompatible lifestyles and values on the Helios site in Cologne. "In the tension between commitment, self-interest and the creation of meaning, it explores the question of how democracy can function in everyday life and how much political responsibility one's own home means to each individual."
