Climate-neutral cultural centre Brotfabrik with 200 kW PV system

Development of a climate-neutral energy refurbishment concept for the Brotfabrik socio-cultural centre in Bonn Beuel with the following components:

Energetic refurbishment of the building envelope to a kfW70 standard
200 kW PV system with 200 kWh electricity storage tank
Water-to-water heat pump 100 kW for heating and cooling purposes
Rapeseed oil peak load boiler 30 kW
Heat accumulator with 50 m³ volume

Construction with renewable or recycled building materials. In the course of the energy-efficient refurbishment of the building sample, barrier-free access to all public spaces is to be created. In addition, a concept is to be implemented to retain and infiltrate as much rainwater as possible on the site in the future, so that the connection to the public sewage system is no longer needed, the groundwater is enriched locally and the sewage system is relieved.

Implementation is scheduled to take place between 2024 and 2028.

Building research Climate adaptation

Climate Landscapes Network - City and Countryside in Flux" (KlimNet) project

For three years, the partners in the project "Network Climate Landscapes - City and Countryside in Flux" (KlimNet) have been collecting examples and developing measures on how cities can arm themselves against the consequences of climate change through more greenery. In doing so, they collected ideas from citizens and worked closely with municipalities, initiatives, schools and other committed people. The most important experiences from the project are compiled in this guide.

Project "Sustainable industrial estates: Recommendations for municipalities

In cities, the resource "area" is a coveted commodity: companies need space to do business, citizens are looking for recreational and residential space, and urban planning must take precautions against heavy rainfall events. In this context, commercial areas can play an important role. WILA Bonn, together with the Technical University of Darmstadt, the University of Osnabrück and the Global Nature Fund, has tested how sustainable design of existing commercial areas can succeed in three cities: Remscheid, Marl and Frankfurt am Main. This brochure summarises how the tested measures can also be implemented in other cities.
