With 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.

Video (2019) about the increase of the Platensiedlung in Ginnheim

3:16 min may 2019

Aerial photos taken by a drone show the status of implementation in May 2019. The Platensiedlung in Ginnheim (Frankfurt am Main) will have 2 storeys added without additional land sealing and the existing buildings will be renovated to make them more energy efficient.

The project is the largest redensification of a housing estate in Frankfurt for many years and currently probably the largest project of its kind in Germany (as of 28.05.2019).
