SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

8Windenergy 8Solar energy (electricity and warm water) 8Heat storage in the ground

WINDTURBINES

Capacity of 600 kW per turbine (2x). Energy output 1.8 million kWh per year Covers 85 % of the energy requirement for electricity

SOLAR ENERGY Electricity made by photovoltaic cells

250 m² Solar collectors for heating tap water

ENERGY STORAGE IN THE GROUND

8 Energy storage by using aquifers 8 Net annual output 1.4 million kWh – in winter to heat; – in summer to cool; 8 Combined with heatpumps Covers 80% of the energy for the heating system

CO2 REDUCTION By using sustainable energy from wind, sun and soil CO2 emissions will be reduced by 75 %

“The New Driving” Method Driving simulator

REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION 8 Extra insulation (wall, floor, roof) 8 Insulating glass 8 Automatic switches: - lighting - heating - water taps 8 Optimal use of daylight 8 Heat recovery

LIMITING USE of NON-RENEWABLE MATERIALS 8 Closed “soil balance” 8 Choise of renewable materials 8 Reuse of materials 8 Flexible design of buildings

INTEGRAL WATER MANAGEMENT

REUSE OF RAINWATER 8 Flushing toilets requires 10.000 m³ water per year. 8 Car wash, skid road and deep fording facility 8 Covers 75 % of the requirement for water
