GreenUP supports the methodological conceptualisation, advises on improving the user-friendliness of the assessment tool and its implementation. Project management: TH Ostwestfalen-Lippe. Funding: Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt. Duration: 2021 to 2023
PV system with an output of 366 kW peak on three agricultural buildings. Expansion to 700kW peak in preparation (2024)
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.
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.

Together with 10 students from Texas, this insect and small animal tower was built in a workshop on 20 and 21 June 2017. Except for a few metal parts (screws and post shoes), the materials are made of renewable building materials. The wooden tower is four and a half metres high and will now be gradually filled with other natural materials so that small animals of all kinds will find their habitat there in the future. Bird nesting boxes can be added to the upper floors. If you have any questions about costs or tips on construction, please do not hesitate to contact me. The project was initiated and organised by Katrin Krause from the Wissenschaftsladen Bonn. I took over the planning of the construction and the construction supervision of the students.
Initiation of model projects, as well as publications and events on building with wood
Main areas of work:
2015: Municipal value creation and timber construction
2014: Climate protection through modern wood use
Financed with funds from the Ministry of Climate Protection, Environment, Agriculture, Nature Conservation and Consumer Protection of the State of NRW, represented by Landesbetrieb Wald und Holz NRW
In four lectures, planning offices that are well-known beyond the Eifel region presented their contributions to building culture in the Eifel region, which have won competitions and awards. The winners of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Prize for Architecture and Housing 2013, the Eifel Building Culture Prize 2013, the North Rhine-Westphalia Timber Construction Prize 2014, the German Timber Construction Prize 2007 and the Rhineland-Palatinate Timber Construction Prize 2006 gave presentations.
System with inverter, wallboxes and PV modules with an output of 5 kW gets an update because two e-cars are to be integrated.

Brief description
A housing development design with 140 flats (see www.sdg21.eu/db/autofreie-solarsiedlung-nancystrasse) for 420 inhabitants is examined for the relevant environmental impacts and their reduction potentials using the indicators GWP 100 (Global Warming Potential in 100 years) and primary energy in the standard/best-case and worst-case variants.
The web database sdg21 documents 232 settlements and 49 neighbourhoods, as well as 45 exemplary buildings (Σ = 326) with a total of 71,980 realised dwellings, which, with the exception of a few historical projects, have been realised under sustainable objectives in Germany and other European countries since 1980. A further 43,000 housing units are currently being built in sustainable neighbourhoods or eco-settlements. 5,579 photos, 211 photo galleries and 156 film references illustrate the projects that fulfil sustainable criteria in their implementation. A news blog with 846 contributions, including 75 announcements on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030 and 136 announcements on funding and competitions, complement the project database. In 2021 and 2022, there were a total of 100,000 counted views each.
