KRONSBERG, A NEW SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF EXPO 2000
OBJECTIVES :
IMPROVE ENVIROMENTAL EFFICIENCY
INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS
INCREASE USE OF CLEAN TECHNOLOGY
HANNOVER,KRONSBERG,GERMANY
The Kronsberg district (Hannover, Germany) presents a
comprehensive example of visionary urban planning
and construction
Kronsberg is a settlement with exceptionally high
ecological standards, buildings offering above-average
quality of accommodation and semi-natural open space
design
The district represents one of the largest and most
advanced settlement programmes of its kind in Europe.
COMPACT STRUCTURESDecreasing density and building height as one
approaches the countryside
The appearance of the district is shaped by its wide-
meshed rectangular grid layout, which creates frames
for very varied block structures.
The built-up, urban quality of the townscape is the result
of design parameters that set the number of storeys,
building heights and building lines along the streets
Along with the demand for compact structures, an
important condition was that all corner plots should be
built on.
COMPACT STRUCTURESAt the centre of the district, right next to
Kronsberg tram stop, it is the district square, on
which are grouped:
Krokus arts and community centre
Protestant church centre
A health centre
A shopping centre
Other shops, café and restaurants
TRANSPORT A new direct light rail transit service (Stadtbahn) links the settlement with
the city centre
Three light rail stops are so located that nobody has to walk more than 600
metres to catch a tram
The main motorised traffic flow is channelled along the edge of the
development beside the light rail line to minimise nuisance to residents
Planning of the residential street layout permits no through traffic
Narrow sections on the roads, 30 kph zones, and priority to the right at
junctions, are effective traffic calming measures
Car parking spaces are mainly arranged in small areas, either set into the
hillside or at ground leveL
To reduce the parking space needs in the inner courts, a parking space ratio
of 0.8 per apartment was set at Kronsberg
A cycle-friendly street layout with a designated cycle street running the
length of the district offers, together with a dense network of rural and
urban footpaths, an attractive alternative to private motorised transport.
ENERGY
A ‘Low Energy House’ standard was set for the entire Kronsbergdevelopment, meaning that the residential area has successfully
managed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60% compared to conventional new construction in Germany. (The theoretical heating demand of homes on Kronsberg is a maximum 45-
55kWh/m2 per year, the German average is 200kWh/m2 per year.)
The site features a ‘Passive House’ development of 32 terraced houses requiring almost 90% less heating energy than
conventional terraces (15kWh/m2per year), due to 400mm insulation, extremely airtight structures, air extraction plants with
heat recovery, triple glazing and solar thermal collectors.
The district is served by two decentralised natural gas CHP (combined heat and power) plants, enabling
further carbon reductions.
Two large new wind turbines at Kronsberg (1.5MW and 1.8MW), together with an existing 300kW roughly
meet the electricity needs of residents across the district.
104 social housing apartments are heated from around 1350m2 of solar collectors, that also feed into a sunken thermal storage tank, meaning that solar energy can be used from spring through to
December, covering around 40% of the total heating needs of the homes.

WASTE
Recycling stations for pre-separated waste such as paper, packaging and organics, are situated through the neighbourhood and underground glass recycling bins help minimise the visual impact of such facilities.
Consideration was given to waste minimisation during the construction of Kronsberg and excavated soil was re-used in local landscape features to avoid it’s transportation to land-fill sites - in raising the noise buffer embankment along the nearby motorway.

WATER
Method of rainwater management
used to maintain the natural water resources of the
district.
Rainwater is collected from the entire Kronsberg site
and carefully sent above-ground through various
systems designed to retain the water and allow it to
drain into the ground.
Kronsberg ponds, basins, ditches and channels are at
times designed, sculptural elements and at other more
natural and organic in form.
