Hannover

By involving local partners, politicians and stakeholders such as housing associations, energy suppliers, business, science and interested citizens, new standards should be set for the communities of tomorrow, and the experience gathered made available to other municipalities.

Working together, the climate protection aims will be achieved through practical measures in residential developments and applications of renewable energies. As supporting measures, energy saving campaigns and publicity campaigns to attract new investors are run. Training sessions support the construction measures and improve craft skills on site.

The demonstration projects are running in the ‘Concerto Districts' of Hainholz, Ahlem, Nordstadt, Herrenhausen, Limmer, Vinnhorst and Vahrenwald.

In Hannover the sole focus is on retrofitting older buildings and implementing renewable energies.
