Feasibility study “Blechenstrasse heating solution”

Fea­si­bi­li­ty stu­dy for the heat sup­p­ly of a resi­den­ti­al com­plex in Ber­lin: ana­ly­sis of the exis­ting natu­ral gas-based situa­ti­on, tech­no-eco­no­mic com­pa­ri­son of dis­trict hea­ting and heat pump solu­ti­ons as pos­si­ble alter­na­ti­ves with CO₂ pri­ce risk assess­ment. Goal: Effi­ci­ent, resi­li­ent heat sup­p­ly for 67 resi­den­ti­al units.

Stechlin Institute
Energy concept and implementation consulting

Sin­ce 2025, the­re has been a new ener­gy sup­p­ly for the www.stechlin-institut.org. In the midd­le of the forest, a water-bea­ring wood-bur­ning sto­ve pro­vi­des cozy warmth in sel­ec­ted zones on cold days. A geo­ther­mal heat pump pro­vi­des the basic tem­pe­ra­tu­re, sup­ple­men­ted by solar ther­mal ener­gy for hot water. Pho­to­vol­taic modu­les and trans­lu­cent PV ele­ments on the ter­race roof match the roof. An elec­tric char­ging sta­ti­on com­ple­tes the infra­struc­tu­re. The result is an ener­gy-effi­ci­ent sys­tem that blends har­mo­nious­ly into the tran­quil, natu­ral set­ting.
Watts sup­port­ed the design and the appli­ca­ti­on for fun­ding.
