Zum Feldlager - Innovatives Wärmeversorgungskonzept für die zeitgemäße Siedlung „Zum Feldlager“ (Kassel)

The city of Kassel plans to build a new housing estate in the district Harleshausen. Main objective is to develop a modern and innovative heat supply concept without using fossil fuels and less efficient small boiler systems.  Instead of that the project aims at designing the housing estate to be self-sustaining. One of the first steps was to determine the energy and heat demand for the future residential area comprising 130 buildings with around 150 accommodation units. The planned single family housings, terraced houses and multi-family homes will have for the domestic hot water preparation and space heating an energy demand of 1,600 Megawatt hours (MWh).  In order to ensure the energy supply as far as possible with renewable energies, the researchers and experts developed three environmentally friendly heat supply concepts:

• renewable low-temperature district heating and solar thermal power
• combined heat and power plant operated with biomethan in combination with a ground source heat pump
• decentralized air-water heat pumps and solar thermal power.

The project partners will focus in the following project phase on specifying the most economically concepts.
