• Reduction of energy consumption of prosumers (ProSuffizienz) Data collection, analysis and visualisation to support sufficiency in prosumer households taking into account sector coupling

  Allotment gardeners show how it's done: they harvest part of what they need every day to live. The situation is similar with energy production. More and more households not only consume energy, but also produce it themselves [...] More

• Geothermal energy for the heating transition: Supervision of the rollout of medium-depth geothermal energy in Germany (Warm-Up)

  As a renewable energy source, geothermal energy can increasingly replace fossil fuels and thus contribute to climate protection and create added value locally. Despite great potential, the share of heat from deep geothermal [...] More

• Suburban Heat Shift 2 Innovation district heating in agglomeration belts using the example of of the existing quarter “Leeste”: Project phase 2 Implementation

  Heating networks play an important role in climate-neutral heat supply. The project aims to provide scientific support for the implementation of a grid-connected supply approach in the center of Leeste in the Lower Saxon [...] More

• Accompanying Scientific Research for Energiewendebauen Research Initiative – Districts module

  Neighborhood energy concepts can enable new paths for higher energy efficiency and renewable energies at the local level by taking an integrated view of energy generation, consumption and decentralized infrastructure. For [...] More

• Home-Office and energy transition: Implications of mobile working and opportunities for the transition of the energy system Electricity consumption, mobility behavior and rebound effects

  Due to the Corona pandemic, there has been movement in the perception and use of home office and teleremote working. In this joint project, the energetic and non-energetic implications of this change that are relevant for the [...] More
