Sustainability measures
Ecology Energy: Energy concept for the entire settlement, expandability of the CHP plant, controlled exhaust air system
Building concept: compact construction and south orientation of the living spaces, partial daylight in the cellars (full use).
Low degree of sealing: openly grouted pavements, green roofs, low proportion of development area
Open space design: compact parking, green corridors, greening through
Use of native plants, reuse of excavated soil
Economics Low operating costs due to own energy/communication supplier
Socio-culture Lively residential environment with good local amenities, high residential value
