Creation and implementation of concepts for the use of renewable energies as part of the construction project "Renovation of the Stadthalle in Braunschweig"

The city of Braunschweig, represented by Struktur-Förderung Braunschweig GmbH, is planning an extensive renovation of the building fabric and technical building equipment of the Braunschweig City Hall, which was built in 1965.

The analysis of the existing building has shown that the entire existing technical building equipment needs to be replaced, as some of it dates back to the time of the construction of the town hall. Based on the as-built analysis, a design plan was developed by the engineering firm iwb as the responsible general planner.

There is a building permit for the renovation of the Stadthalle Braunschweig from 2020, which was extended in 2023.

From the current point of view, an adjustment of the approval planning in the following areas is considered imperative:

• Integration of regenerative concepts for energy generation with a focus on sustainable operation

• Renovation of the roof structure, taking into account the load-bearing capacity, installation of regenerative technical systems, possible retention areas and monument protection concerns

Since the entire planning is subject to the restrictions of monument protection, a special focus during the renovation of the Stadthalle is on the constant optimisation of the technical equipment in favour of the listed substance. As part of the renovation, the key to long-term sustainable operation of the building as an economically oriented venue is the optimal balance of state-of-the-art technical building equipment, preservation of the listed identity and the integration of forward-looking concepts for the integration of renewable energies.

The task of the contractor is to develop concepts together with the object planners and the specialist planners of the TGA, which include the optimal possible use of renewable energies. To this end, all directions will be considered and the various combinations of the use of different energy sources and their impact on construction and operation will be investigated.
