In a town on the German border with Austria, a 3,000 m² apartment building is a shining example of sustainability.
The 42 apartments in the Burghausen block have underfloor heating and hot water provided by three air-to-water heat pumps at a temperature of 35-55°C.
The electricity for the heat pumps comes from photovoltaic panels on the roof – 270 modules covering 500 square metres and generating 99.9 kWp. Energy storage units stock excess electricity for use when it’s less sunny, minimising energy costs and maximising self-sufficiency.
In 2023, the PV system produced 99.93 MWh of electricity, with 53% of the total energy consumed in the building produced on-site.
