| 539 | City of Berlin | 31153 | Germany | Berlin | C40 | 2013 | Energy Supply > Combined heat and power | Energy Supply | Combined heat and power | The district heating system was renovated and expanded to about 1,750 km of district heating routes. Berlin has the largest district heating network in Western Europe. The expansion of district heating with combined heat and power (CHP) saves significant amounts of CO2. More than 1,164,000 homes are supplied from this network. | (52.5200066, 13.404954) | (51.165691, 10.451526) | |

| 541 | City of Berlin | 31153 | Germany | Berlin | C40 | 2013 | Energy Demand in Buildings > Energy efficiency/retrofit measures | Energy Demand in Buildings | Energy efficiency/retrofit measures | Around one third of Berlin´s residential buildings have already been fully or partly modernized. Financing came from the federal KfW and the Berlin Modernizing and Maintenance Development Programme. Within this programme about €8 billion were invested from 1991 to 2001. Since 1990 the energy consumption of approximately 273,000 panelised building structures has been greatly reduced. Today, half of these residential units consume around 80 kilowatt hours per year and thus only half as much energy as in 1990. The heating structure has completely changed since 1990. In 1990 400,000 residential units still had coal-fired ovens. By 2005 this number was reduced to 60,000. At the same time the number of residential units using environmentally friendly natural gas for heating almost doubled. | (52.5200066, 13.404954) | (51.165691, 10.451526) | |
| 542 | City of Berlin | 31153 | Germany | Berlin | C40 | 2013 | Other: Database | Other: Database | Berlin’s Solar Atlas shows precisely whether a roof is suitable for using solar energy and whether the investment will pay off. Possible electricity generation, CO2 savings and investment costs are displayed in a single overview.To prepare this Solar Atlas, all of the approximately 500,000 roofs in the city were lasermeasured from an aircraft. Data such as roof slope, compass direction and shadow formation were incorporated into the calculation for solar power and savings potentials. Insolation as well as the mean price and the efficiency of solar cells were assessed. The Solar Atlas uses the existing 3D city model of Berlin, which is based on the official land register. An integrated yield calculator also facilitates the individual calculation of costs and yields. By entering the surface area of the module, the cost of the module, service life, interest and reimbursement rates it is possible to make corresponding estimates. The Solar Atlas can be found at www.businesslocationcenter.de. | (52.5200066, 13.404954) | (51.165691, 10.451526) | ||

| 544 | City of Berlin | 31153 | Germany | Berlin | C40 | 2013 | Other: Climate protection agreements | Other: Climate protection agreements | Climate protection agreements: Since 2006 twelve partner have concluded climate protection agreements with the Senate with different operating periods (the Water Company, the Berlin Cleaning Service, the Berlin Swimming Pool Company, Berlin´s Real Estate Management Company, the Oil Efficiency Ínitiative, Berlins service company IT-Centre, the Municipal Hospital Group Vivantes and the two zoological gardens, energy suppliers and housing associations). These climate protection agreements are an instrument that builds on voluntary engagement, while at the same time they incorporate a high level of commitment,because these agreements are backed up by mutually binding obligations. The agreements also specify the planned volumes of investment. | (52.5200066, 13.404954) | (51.165691, 10.451526) | ||
| 545 | City of Berlin | 31153 | Germany | Berlin | C40 | 2013 | Other: transport plan | Other: transport plan | In March 2011 the Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment presented the new Urban Development Plan Transport with a 2025 planning horizon. A "Mobility Programme 2016" bundles up the long-term strategies and measures for the transport sector. It is prognosed that the CO2 emissions from the motorised traffic on the main network decline by about 38 % between 2006 and 2025. This is owed to the reduction of the traffic and technical improvements. The scenarios are linked with the scenarios of the energy consumption development of Berlins Energy Concept 2020. | (52.5200066, 13.404954) | (51.165691, 10.451526) | ||

Consequently, the encouragement of sustainable building is one of the other important aspects we need to address. We have realized there is an important information gap in this sense, and we therefore feel that our greatest responsibility is to create awareness throughout society, especially amongst those involved in the construction business, and to promote sustainable construction principles and criteria. To this end, we have been offering courses, lectures and seminars related to different aspects of sustainable buildings, as well as organizing contests and other learning experiences for architecture students. | (-34.6037232, -58.3815931) | (-38.416097, -63.616672) | |
