Since the fall of 2019, Team X4S – Extension for Sustainability – of Biberach University of Applied Sciences has been participating in the international competition Solar Decathlon Europe 21 (in 2022). The final of the competition took place in Wuppertal in June 2022. To create more living space within the city without using more land, they are extending the pre-existing building of Café Ada in Wuppertal by adding four additional floors. They will then construct one representative residential unit of their design for the final of the competition. The project’s innovations are aimed at drastically reducing carbon dioxide emissions from buildings in neighbourhoods while maintaining or improving the sociocultural environment. For the extension of Café Ada, their sustainability concept is based on sufficiency, efficiency, consistency and resilience. These ideas are pursued in three sub-areas: Architecture, Energy and Construction.
