D - 52249 Eschweiler: the municipality of Eschweiler has designated a second Factor X housing estate with 34 plots on 3.1 hectares in the development plan. Construction of the first houses can begin as early as April. Resource- and energy-efficient single-family houses will be built on around 30 plots and four multi-family houses will be built according to the Factor X concept. Further elements of sustainable urban development, such as extensively greened roofs and a central heat supply using wood pellets, are planned. RWE Power is the landowner and developer. The development was completed in spring 2019.
The highlight: The shredded material is mixed in with the gravel for new concrete and thus no longer ends up in the piles of construction waste. "This, of course, reduces the amount of sand and other materials I need for a concrete ceiling," Dosch reports. Soon, he says, every basement slab will be made of recycled concrete. The area in Dürwiß has shown that this construction method is not significantly more expensive. For Eschweiler, the project turns out to be another stroke of luck: a new branch of the company is being created. Mayor Rudi Bertram reports that someone has contacted the administration looking for a company location to process building materials in Eschweiler. "Factor x is part of the structural change in Eschweiler," Bertram says.
The free initial consultation by the Factor X Agency is a prerequisite for acquiring a plot of land in a Factor X residential area. Basic questions about resource-efficient building are explained and questions from those interested in building are answered.
After this consultation, potential developers have the opportunity to reserve a plot of land in order to subsequently carry out the necessary construction and resource efficiency planning. If the plans comply with the development plan and the Factor X specifications, the plot can be purchased and construction work can begin on the Factor X housing estate.
