ecoSquare Bamberg

The "ecoSquare" is a sustainable inner-city neighborhood in Bamberg. It combines social interaction, sustainable construction and the implementation of an innovative energy and mobility concept. In addition to apartments and a children's store, there will also be a hotel, office space and a variety of commercial spaces.

The innovative energy concept, developed by NATURSTROM AG, makes ecoSquare a future-oriented quarter. Particularly efficient energy use through sector coupling and the avoidance of CO2 release, air and water pollution control are a matter of course here.
The energy for heating, cooling, e-mobility and part of the electricity required in the planned building complex is produced directly on site and comes from sustainable sources. Photovoltaics on the roofs and in the facades produce electricity. A combined heat and power plant, powered by eco-gas from NATURSTROM AG, and an earth probe field generate heat and cold. Both are stored in buffer tanks and in the geothermal probe tank for later use. In addition, efforts are being made to store the thermal energy temporarily in the building itself and to transport it to where it is needed via an energy ring in the neighborhood. Part of the floor slabs will be used to condition the office space in the form of concrete core activation for heating and cooling.
