CO2-neutrales Welterbe Speicherstadt Hamburg - Phase I - Umsetzung und Begleitung der Konzepterstellung und des Großdemonstrators im Rahmen der energie- und umweltgerechten Sanierung des Block H der Speicherstadt Hamburg (0-CO2-WSHH)

A groundbreaking study demonstrates that integrated, energy-efficient renovation strategies can significantly reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption in historic buildings while preserving their cultural heritage. The research, conducted on Block H of Hamburg's Speicherstadtshowed substantial potential for decarbonization through a combination of conservation-compatible interior insulation, locally sourced renewable energy systems (such as thermally and electrically activated rooftops), hybrid thermal storage solutions, and low-temperature heat distribution. Crucially, the study revealed that reliable performance assessments require systematic validation against real-world measurements and simulations, highlighting the importance of adaptive control strategies and flexible operational models. By leveraging digital tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM) coupled with energetic and fluid dynamic simulations, the project provides actionable insights for planning climate-neutral renovations in heritage districts, bridging research and practical application.
