Web database of sustainable settlements and neighbourhoods

Ranking

selected settlements and buildings according to qualitative sustainability criteria

So that the whole range of ecological and sustainable building can be seen, the following information is available at www.sdg21.eu included both settlements that have implemented very far-reaching ecological and social principles (e.g. the Moorwiesensiedlung in Kiel-Hassee), but also projects with partly only one ecological-innovative aspect (e.g. the Solar Local Heating Project Wiggenhausen). At present, this can only be derived from the descriptions. A qualitative assessment, which is to be carried out within the framework of a Upper class seminar at the University of Karlsruhe has been developed and carried out for the projects listed on this website. The aim was to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the individual projects. However, the evaluation effort is large, which is why only some of the projects have been evaluated so far. Since the projects were evaluated in two different seminars and the evaluation matrix was further developed, the scores are not consistent. Nevertheless, they allow a ranking of the projects.

This is the underlying Evaluation matrix (Word file 140 kB)
