HAFENCITY WEST: SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT CENTRAL HEATING SUPPLY Central Heating Supply Objectives (2002): secured supply low price high energy efficiency CO 2 -Benchmark: below200 g/kwh: target value 175 g/kwh Mix of Technologies: district heating solar heating fuel cells Result: Reduction of emmissions by central heating supply and CO2 limits. Reduction of CO2 emissions by 27% compared to natural gas use (even larger reductions possible compared to oil or coal use)
HAFENCITY EAST (> 1 Mio. m² GFS): NEW STANDARDS FOR CENTRAL HEATING SUPPLY (CO2-BENCHMARK 89 g/kwh) Supply Area Eastern HafenCity: CO 2 -Benchmark: 89 g / kwh (Contract 2009) Western HafenCity: district heating system locally completed with : 1. fuel cells 2. solar heating 3. CHP units 1 fuel cell technology (biomethane) 2. low-temperature boiler for peak loads 1 1. wood pellets incineration (waste wood of Großmarkt and other waste wood) 2. low-temperature boiler for peak loads 2 (CO 2 -Benchmark: 175 g / kwh, Contract 2003) 4 3 1. brine/ water heat pumps (heat source: fluvial water, power source biomethane or wood pellets) 2. low-temperature boiler for peak loads

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING CONCEPTS Eco Label Categories 1. Sustainable use of energy ressources power requirements: residential buildings: <60 kwh/a m² or <40 kwh/a m² power requirements: commercial buildings: < 190 kwh/a m² or <100 kwh/a m² 2. Sustainable use of public goods 3. Use of environmentally friendly building materials 4. Special consideration for environment, comfort and health protection 5. Sustainable Facility Management Usage of Competition and Market Processes awarding of an eco-label and confering an environmental award certification of buildings promotion of energy efficient buildings in case of exclusive options or/and the sale of plots under competitive market conditions
