“Low Cost & Low Tech” Plus Energy Primary School and Gymnasium
Abstract
This project will show that it is possible to realize a Plus Energy Primary School without increased costs in comparison to a “normal” new school building. The basic approach is to optimise the architectural design in order to permit a lean building with a simple, easy controllable and low maintenance engineering system. A sustainable, ecological concept can be implemented by using renewable sources. A photovoltaic plant will compensate the energy demand by feeding into the local grid. With the financial support of the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft (programme: EnOB), different innovative components and products can be applied and monitored. The results of the different research areas will be documented and can be used for future projects. Keywords: plus energy building, school, renewable energies, research/demonstration project
