Urban Solar Communities
Introduction
The solar quarter in Schlierberg (German: Solarsiedlung am Schlierberg) is a community of 59 PlusEnergy homes in Freiburg, Germany. Solar architect Rolf Disch wanted to apply his PlusEnergy concept, originally created with his house Heliotrope"), for residential mass production. This residential complex won awards such as House of the Year (2002), Residential Solar Photovoltaic Integration Award (2002), Most Beautiful Housing Community in Germany (2006). It is the first housing community in the world in which all homes produce a positive energy balance, which is emission-free and CO neutral. Built between 2000 and 2005 in the Vauban neighborhood "Vauban (Freiburg)") of Freiburg, the design of each home offers maximum energy efficiency and converts energy bills into energy income. The Solar Quarter has demonstrated Disch's vision of a "fundamental environmental imperative" as these houses have exhibited more than 8 years of full occupancy and each produced more than 4,000 euros ($5,600) each year in solar energy profits. Disch believes that the image your community displays is as important as the green savings it brings. Disch says that 50 homes eliminating energy bills and feeding clean, sustainable renewable energy into the city grid is the imperative we need. They contribute to the goal of sustainable ecological and economic development and show the entire world that communities like this are affordable, beautiful, comfortable and in fact preferable. The tenants of the Solar District do not claim to have made any compromises in their living situations, but rather have improved both environmentally and. Economically. Made from Black Forest wood, the wooden interior and natural lighting provide happily lit spaces and a natural flow from room to room.
PlusEnergy
Contenido
PlusEnergy es un concepto acuñado desarrollado por Rolf Disch que indica la eficiencia energética extrema de una estructura para que mantenga un equilibrio energético positivo, produciendo realmente más energía de la que utiliza. Con la finalización de su residencia privada, el Heliotrope"), en 1994, Disch había creado la primera casa PlusEnergy del mundo. La lógica de un hogar que crea más energía de la que consume tiene mucho sentido para Disch. Su siguiente objetivo en su desarrollo fue, por lo tanto, la aplicación masiva del concepto al espacio residencial, comercial y minorista. A medida que el concepto se desarrolló y ganó respaldo financiero, Disch construyó varios proyectos más con certificaciones PlusEnergy. PlusEnergy es un concepto simple que se ha materializado en un diseño técnico. "PlusEnergy es un imperativo ambiental fundamental", afirma Disch.[1] Disch cree que la construcción pasiva no es suficiente porque las casas pasivas aún emiten CO a la atmósfera: ¡podemos activar nuestros hogares con energía solar!
