Kieswerk Maas Roeloff GmbH & Co.KG

The aim of the project of the Kieswerk Maas Roeloff was to investigate as to what extent water bodies, created by gravel extraction, could be used sustainably for a residential area. The first idea was to construct an energy passive building using renewable energy mainly produced by solar panels and using the heat energy of the surrounding lake.

The first idea was to construct an energy passive building using renewable energy mainly produced by solar panels and using the heat energy of the surrounding lake. This 100 sqm building, floating on a lake next to a gravel extraction site, was monitored over several years with 100 stationary sensors installed recording once every 90 seconds. The results of this research project will help to boost concepts of sustainable residential areas.building, floating on a lake next to a gravel extraction site, was monitored over several years with 100 stationary sensors installed recording once every 90 seconds.
