D - 50181 Bedburg Kaster: Around 130 residential units on 5.6 hectares are planned in the first resource conservation housing estate of the town of Bedburg and RWE Power. The conservation of natural resources is at the forefront of this project, which is being developed under the name "Faktor X", already established in specialist circles. Further key data: 55,500 square metres of living space, around 110 building plots and an extension to the forest kindergarten are planned. Completion: 2024
Materials such as wood, natural insulation layers and recycled building materials are to be used in the planned resource conservation housing estate. The buildings constructed with these materials consume fewer resources and less energy than highly insulated, high-tech buildings and are significantly more climate-friendly over their entire life cycle - from construction to demolition," explains Klaus Dosch, head of the development company's Faktor-X agency. The concept has already been successfully applied in Eschweiler and Inden.
In addition, an almost year-round self-sufficient energy concept is to be implemented, based on climate-neutral renewable energies (PV and wind in combination with electricity and heat storage).
