Abstract
Within the framework of a project funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi) in Germany, it is being examined how, with different approaches, even historic buildings can contribute to an energy-efficient heritage district. Five partners are investigating the legal, structural and technical conditions for improving the building envelope in line with the preservation order, modernizing the buildings and providing a future-oriented energy supply. The inclusion of renewable energies and the digital networking of all components is of particular importance. For this all suitable measures will be adapted in five buildings for demonstration. Then, on basis of an extensive monitoring, the theoretically elaborated model approaches and the results obtained by means of numerical simulations can be validated. The joint project started in 2016. The IWB of University of Stuttgart as coordinator, the Margarethe Krupp Foundation as owner, the Gas and Heat Institute Essen e.V. and two institutes of the RWTH Aachen University, the Institute for Integrated Analog Circuits and the Institute for Building and Climate Technology, are partners in the research network.
