Today, the architects’ association BDA Brandenburg held the official award ceremony for its architecture prize in Potsdam. The award winners included the new premises of the Eberswalde local authorities, an ‘EbBau’ model project. The prizes were awarded explicitly to projects which ‘sent out a message beyond their architectural quality’.

Das neue Team für die wissenschaftliche Begleitforschung im Bereich EnBau und EnSan stellt sich vor

30. Oct 2007 - New accompanying scientific research starts

Since September 2007, there has been a new EnOB team for cross-project analysis and research. Until now, the model projects in the new-build (EnBau) and refurbishment (EnSan) sectors were scientifically monitored and analysed in separate teams. The goal is to now combine these teams and benefit from the effects of synergy whilst also setting new objectives. This new accompanying research team is presented below, together with an insight into their range of responsibilities and the key areas of the research programme.

20. Oct 2007 - Solar Decathlon 2007: First prize to Darmstadt

TU Darmstadt has won the international "Solar Decathlon 2007" competition to find the most attractive and energy-efficient solar home. The team headed by Prof. Manfred Hegger triumphed in Washington D.C. against 19 other top universities from the USA, Canada and Spain. The award-winning house will now be shipped back across the Atlantic and shown at the DEUBAU in Essen. This high-tech building will then be erected as a project office on the “Lichtwiese” campus at TU Darmstadt, serving as an EnBau model project for testing and optimisation in everyday use.

10. Oct 2007 - EnOB Workshop discusses benchmarking for “zero-energy buildings”

Roughly sixty research and planning personnel met on the 1st and 2nd of October at the Service and Administration Centre in Eberswalde. For the first time, project teams from demonstration building projects in the new-build (EnBau) and refurbishment (EnSan) sectors met up at a joint workshop. The focus this time was on “zero-energy buildings/zero-emissions buildings“. In addition to several presentations covering fundamental aspects, various zero-energy and zero-emissions building concepts were also presented. Finally, working groups were formed to discuss various topics.

28. Sep 2007 - Vacuum insulation: buildings wanted for monitoring tests

Following the first field tests with vacuum insulation on individual building elements, several demonstration buildings were built to gain detailed experience using this new thermal insulation technology. It is now planned to assess more conventional buildings within the scope of the VIP-PROVE research project in order to document the suitability and success of vacuum insulation based on reference examples. Buildings are sought which are already fitted with vacuum insulation or in which it is planned to use such insulation.
