Overall energy concept for Tempelhofer Freiheit

Zero-energy and protection of historical monuments

Task

The Tempelhof Airport was closed in Oktober 2008. The area around the building, constructed from 1936 to 1941, is of high political importance for the city of Berlin. An overall energy concept was to be elaborated for the "Tempelhofer Freiheit" area hosting the world's largest historically listed building, a unique city park area and an urban development on its outskirts. The goal is a zero-energy area of an exemplary character. For this, BLS Energieplan GmbH created an integrated infrastructure and energy concept in collaboration with Berliner Energieagentur GmbH.
