1 TAP-YTL 2010: Sustainable Architecture & Urban Planning Shiva Haghighi Transatlantic Program- Young Technology Leaders September 19-27, 2010 Sponsored by the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest (GACCoM)

2 Why I m Here TAP-YTL Program Participant 2010 Innovation Seminar- Corporate Participant 2012 Innovation Seminar Student Participant 2011 Hired by Ebert & Baumann Consulting Engineers 2011 Introduction to Ebert & Baumann Consulting Engineers at Innovation Seminar 2011

3 Transatlantic Program- Young Technology Leaders A professional development program for young leaders Opportunity to meet thought leaders, top architects and technology providers to see first-hand how Germany is crafting new communities and energy efficient spaces for living and working Activities included: Theme-focused site-visits Presentations Personal interaction with innovative companies and industry leaders Networking functions with peers Cross-cultural training and language building activities Destinations included: Freiburg, Stuttgart, Darmstadt, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin 12 participants chosen from across the U.S.; various backgrounds

4 Freiburg- The Green City City with efficient climate protection & environmental policy Abandoned nuclear energy 30 years ago Current environmental policy: Renewable energy sources Solar, biomass, hydro, wind, geothermal Public transport options Trams, high-speed trains, buses Building heat-insulation programs Low-energy and zero-energy housing Passivhaus System for ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling

5 Freiburg- The Green City As a result of their energy/environmental policies: Chosen as Germany s Environmental Capital in 1992 Setting low energy standard in Germany 30% below national standard for new houses CO 2 emissions from traffic decreased by 14% Currently >200 passive houses in Freiburg 10,000 people in Freiburg employed in the environmental and solar industries alone Ever-increasing standards In 2011, all houses in Freiburg are required to meet Passivhaus standards 2030 target: 40% CO 2 reduction

6 Freiburg- Vauban

7 Freiburg-Vauban Vauban: A sustainable model district Now a family-friendly neighborhood for 5000 people The Vauban area relies on civic commitment, collective building, and living with ecological awareness Low-energy building is mandatory in this district Zero-energy and energy-plus building and the application of solar technology is standard The first housing community world wide in which all the homes produce a positive energy balance The solar energy surplus is sold back into the city's grid for a profit on every home

8 Freiburg- Vauban One of the largest solar districts in Europe More than 450 m 2 of solar collectors, 1200 m 2 of photovoltaics These numbers are continuously growing Vegetation-covered flat roofs store rainwater, which is collected and re-used

9 Freiburg- Vauban Transportation ideology: Priority to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport Privileges to car-free living The residential area has been linked to the city tram system, allowing people to live without a car 40% residents without cars Bike use very popular Neighborhood has little traffic Kid-friendly

10 Freiburg- Vauban Infrastructure includes schools, youth facilities, civic meeting places, a market place, and many areas for recreation and play Very community-friendly Green space was preserved as much as possible Green spaces left between housing- provide play areas for children

11 Darmstadt- Passivhaus Institute Passive House (Passivhaus) a low-energy building standard Based on concept of passive heating (basic building physics) Building heats itself, minimal additional heat supplied Utilization of well-insulated windows/windowframes very important 5 basic principles 1. High levels of thermal insulation 2. Well-insulated window frames with triple low-e glazing 3. Thermal-bridge-free construction 4. Airtight building envelope 5. Comfort ventilation with highly efficient heat recovery

12 Darmstadt- Solar Decathlon TU Darmstadt Architecture School Solar Decathlon: an international competition with 20 universities to design, build, and operate the most attractive, effective, and energyefficient solar-powered house TU Darmstadt won the competition in 2007 and 2009 Solar Decathlon team housed in the Department of Architecture s Energy Efficiency Building Unit

13 Darmstadt- Solar Decathlon

14 Darmstadt- Solar Decathlon 2007 Solar Decathlon house: planned as Passivhaus Objective: minimize energy needed, obtain remainder from PV Thermal shell glass window frame Plumbing cube to minimize the plumbing/ducts Outside shell functionality: Big south windows with shading and overhangs- gains energy PVs track the sun North façade only made of wood (too little sun to use thermal glass) Privacy obtained by closing shades

15 Darmstadt- Solar Decathlon

16 Darmstadt- Solar Decathlon 2009 winning Solar Decathlon house Solar façade and roof (monocrystalline PV on roof) Façade has BiPV- cheaper, more flexible dimensions Integrated shading system for façade Orange acryllic glass- experiemental Automated shading between panes of glass To prevent overheating Automatic and manual

17 Darmstadt- Solar Decathlon

18 Darmstadt- Solar Decathlon

19 Darmstadt- Solar Decathlon

20 Berlin Green roofs mandatory on all new construction/renovations

21 Berlin Prevalence of shading and double facades

22 Impressions/Conclusions Germany lives up to its reputation as a leader in the field of sustainable architecture Many energy efficient buildings were also aesthetically pleasinggreat examples of form and function Impressed by the 30-year energy policy turnaround in Freiburg They made it look easy but it requires community involvement and a lot of dedication The U.S. has a lot of room to grow! Growth of this industry in the U.S. is an exciting prospect Thank you to the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest for the experience of a lifetime and a great learning opportunity!
