Expertise in energy-efficient urban refurbishment
The challenge in Germany is to redesign current urban systems while still preserving the building fabric. Systematic district refurbishment and sustained urban development are complex processes. After all, the many and varied interests of stakeholders like homeowners, tenants, the housing industry, trade and commerce, energy providers, urban developers, the transport industry and others all need to brought together within one set of energy policies. dena is the right partner for this task. Drawing on its substantial expertise, dena can play a key role in communicating know-how, mediating between the stakeholders and in the concise development of cross-sectoral energy concepts.
Urbanisation promotes climate protection
The energy-efficient re(design) of urban districts is an important aspect in the sustainable development of entire cities that use their resources to produce the smallest possible carbon footprint.
In order to achieve a noticeable reduction in CO2,emissions in city energy systems, it is imperative to consider and to interconnect varied fields of action, among them building, energy, transport, water and waste management and their superordinate planning and organisation. The purpose of the Eco-Cities project is to collect initial practical experience from the various pilot cities and hence to create a foundation upon which to build recommended courses of action for the Chinese Ministry of Construction.
