Row houses "Green Solar Architecture

72121Tübingen: Architecture: LogID (Dieter Schempp). The conservatories are a central element of the four terraced houses, as well as the "green solar architecture". The window panes have a k-value of 1.4. The heated air from the conservatories can enter the living spaces via folding elements or via temperature-controlled fans. The houses are also supplied with district heating. Completion: 1988

Addr.: Ursrainer Ring / Albrecht-Dürer-Strasse

A BMBF-funded study by the University of Tübingen examined the energy concept. Results:
- the conservatory can contribute to energy saving if used correctly
- user behaviour has a greater influence on heating energy consumption than any structural measure
