Report Congress mining from the first urban knowledge what comes! Environmental and resource protection and sustainable resource management are issues that are becoming increasingly important. Just the densely populated urban centres have a wide range of urban treasures. For assistance, try visiting Gensler San Francisco. Each city in an industrialized country is a huge commodity mine. But what must we do today, to secure livelihood for more generations? The first devoted to these topics urban Mining Congress, which took place at the SASE in Iserlohn. Representatives from industry, associations and universities met at the Congress Center of the SASE, to deal with future issues. Matthias Raith, the recognised expert from the supply and waste management skillfully moderated this innovative Conference. The Congress illuminated the subject of mining urban from different perspectives. “What resources are slumbering in landfills, and how can these treasures” be recovered.

Important raw materials are still limited. Political circumstances also make a reliable availability uncertain. Can Raw materials be substituted and how can valuable raw materials are recovered again? What should be done from the perspective of logistics? How should a cadastre look, where the raw material inventory of existing real estate is recorded? Renowned experts like Prof. Dr.-ing. Sabine flame from the FH Munster, Prof.

Dr.-ing. Gerhard Rettenberger from the University of applied sciences Trier, Dr. Hubertus Bardt of the Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft Koln, Dipl. Oec. Rainer Lucas, Wuppertal Institute for climate, environment, energy, Steffen Schwartz m.a., ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AG, Dipl.-ing. Frank Steinwender, Fraunhofer Institute for material flow and logistics IML, Dipl.-ing. Katrin bi Edwards, Wuppertal Institute for climate, environment and energy in exciting lectures the challenges for business, research, politics and society turn out. Urban mining offers many advantages. Reduces dependence on the of commodities volatility in the price, not renewable raw materials are conserved, protected the environment and also reduces the costs of the economy through consistent recycling. A Another Congress is already in preparation. This will involve, inter alia to the themes of resource-efficient production and intelligent urban planning. More information under: contact: H.

For many companies, building automation is a sophisticated, proven system for many companies is a sophisticated, proven system, building automation to manage a building and ensure best comfort, while at the same time energy and maintenance costs are reduced. Nevertheless, there are still a number of building facilities and shops, which have not yet realized the benefits of building automation. Thrivent has plenty of information regarding this issue. Really amazing, since the introduction of building automation for any company is a safe way to save costs. Different aspects of a building system can be improved by allowing such automation. Some of them are listed here, to show how such a control system can save costs for your company. Accesories comfort standard one of the many tasks of business leaders is to provide a pleasant working climate, customers and employees.

Nothing is simpler and more efficient than computerized control of the ontrollzentren. Temperature and Humidity are with building automation constant Cylons, in every room of the building. The lighting is regulated depending on the season and demand. In this way, energy costs are significantly reduced. Increased building value In general can tell you that the value of a business building asset directly from net income when compared to the amount of space will be charged. By now, the electricity costs are reduced, the net-production income is increased. Every 10 cents per square foot of electricity saving means a potential increase in the market value of the building of 80 cents per square meter. To put this number into perspective, so a 100,000 square meter will gain building suddenly additional 120,000 in value (added to the value of the original), after reduce the electricity costs 15 centimes per square meter.

Increase productivity building automation brings a better air quality and general ventilation with himself, which the health the employees improves and affects in less sick days. Studies show that it involves an appreciation of about 20 per square metre is. Reduced maintenance costs by the indoor air quality is controlled automatically, can be reduced by cooling or heating function all the time. Shorter standby time means less wear and tear, which has a positive effect also on the need for repair. Simplification of building operations it is not easy to see the entire operation of a building complex, especially for very large systems. Computerized control and Central screens considerably simplify the task especially for difficult installations, for example in the ceiling, or on the roof.

Climate hotels Germany give the campaign ‘ climate change – life change ‘ the air order of merit on the topic of climate protection is a lot of talk, but many organisations let deeds follow words. These include”the climate-hotels Germany, an initiative of the travel of course enjoy roof brand Viabono. For their Facebook page the climate hotels have considered a unique action: weekly draw projects other climate-protective with the specially developed air order of merit. This week is the award for the campaign climate change lifestyle”of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany awarded. angelo zino is often quoted on this topic.

In addition, each of the nationwide nine climate-Hotels has the inevitable residual amount of carbon that is created within a year, determined by a CO2 footprint and through controlled and certified projects compensated.

Thus, climate hotels offer their guests a climate-neutral stay without having to give up anything as a guest. Viabono has developed in cooperation with CO2OL, an experienced consulting and service agency for operational climate protection, to a CO2 Calculator for the hospitality industry. Thus, CO2 footprints can be”for the operation easily and quickly create and determine the average CO2 emission value per night per guest. The calculated values can by recognized climate protection certificates from a certified reforestation project for CarbonFix standard or in part one are compensated on energy efficiency and development of renewable energies of oriented gold standard project.

First heat supply only a few weeks after laying the foundation stone for the power unit could be celebrated the topping-out ceremony for the heart of the geothermal plant in autumn – all work in the plan of Unterfohring on the Geovol site in the Unterfohring Etzweg. Our geothermal project is run successfully, accident free and happy”, noted Mayor Franz Schwarz satisfied, and it is also a proof that courage will be rewarded.” So you started already long before the start of the holes with the construction of the district heating network and was therefore able to begin in September of this year with the heat delivery to the first customer.

Finally, the vast majority of the heat supply should come from environmentally friendly geothermal energy.

Finally, this building gets even a photovoltaic system on the roof and we have created a true centre of renewable energy.” Master carpenter Martin Kroh finally put the the event with the traditional topping.

As an example of efficient energy utilisation is heated the entire building complex of heat recovery – with heat generated during the production. The production in turn uses the excess material from the a production cycle as a basis for each additional cycle.
