Ecology
Waste/water A constructed wetland purifies grey water and rainwater is collected in ponds or infiltrated into troughs. The settlement is not connected to the public sewerage system, which required a case-by-case permit.
Waste Composting toilets. Acceptance has declined over the years (Source: Arge 2012)
Energy Low-energy construction, one of the first combined heat and power plants in the country for a housing estate. A PV system has supplemented the CHP unit since 2000.
Building Biology Environmentally friendly building materials; timber frame construction, radiant heaters, no concrete ceilings, timber frame construction, cellulose insulation, clay interior plastering.
Traffic Car parking spaces are actually only available at the edge of the settlement. That worked for the first 10 years or so. But then they also parked on the central square.
Outdoor facilities Pond, grass roofs; preservation of existing vegetation; near-natural open space design
Eco-technology Variety of experimental eco-techniques
Economics 1,100 Euro/m², incl. self-help + approx. 250 Euro/m² for community facilities (incl. supply and disposal)
