Operational Emissions / Energy
To ensure energy supply and minimize emissions, the neighborhood will feature an advanced combined heat and power (CHP) plant. This innovative CHP plant will utilize biogas and residual wood from the adjacent forest, particularly damaged wood, to generate energy. This system will be complemented by extensive photovoltaic installations covering 75% of the neighborhood’s rooftops. The combination of solar and bioenergy allows the neighborhood to achieve complete energy self-sufficiency. The CHP plant not only provides heat but also generates electricity, ensuring an efficient and sustainable energy supply. The integration of these systems plays a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions and promoting renewable energy.
Afterlife
The mobility hub is built using a modular wooden construction system that provides high flexibility and adaptability. This modular approach allows the building to be converted into a marketplace or a community center if needed. The mobility hub can also serve as office space or be entirely dismantled if required. This multifunctionality contributes to the long-term sustainability and adaptability of the neighborhood.
A key feature of the sustainability concept is the use of TRIQBRIQ modular wooden blocks. Made from sustainably sourced wood, these blocks store several tons of CO2 per building, significantly reducing the ecological footprint of the development. The modular construction method also offers high flexibility, as the stored energy in the buildings can be transferred to other construction projects through simple dismantling. At the end of their lifecycle, TRIQBRIQ blocks can be used in combined heat and power plants to recycle stored energy into heat and electricity. By utilizing simple construction techniques and efficient, compact typologies, the construction costs of planned buildings can be significantly reduced.
