Cooperation project in the field of sustainable restoration

   
  A new project has been added to the ecobuild shanghai 2006 program: the renovation of the Tongji University Bauhaus, which focus on energy efficiency as well as conservation and preservation of heritage. The restoration of the building provides a potential for the display of the capability of “German Architecture and Engineering” and serves as presentation platform for German companies as well as for the cooperation with Chinese science and market partners. The German expert involved in the project is Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. M. N. Fisch, from the Institut für Gebäude- und Solartechnik (IGS) at the TU BRAUNSCHWEIG, the Chinese partner is Univ.-Prof. Dr. Zhiqiang Wu (CAUP) from Tongji University.
   
  The Wen Yuan Building on the campus of Tongji University had been constructed in the early 1950s in “modern style” (Bauhaus style). The building had been used by the Department of Building Engineering until end of 2005. It shall be re-conditioned for the needs of the College of Architecture and Urban Planning until mid 2007. The restoration shall result in an innovative building which has a strong demonstrative aura of future-oriented technologies.
   
  The integrated restoration of the building (enlisted heritage) matching energy and comfort conditions will be implemented as national pilot scheme. The demands of the future user to the floor plan, the thermal, visual and acoustical comfort as well as the objectives for the targeted energy standards will be determined in the very beginning of the project.
   
  The focus lays on a substantial improvement of the building envelope (thermal insulation and damp protection), the adaptation of the building technology to the climate, an implementation of efficient energy supply as well as the use of renewable energies. All these measures shall be adopted by cautiously dealing with the structure of the building, its construction and the historic materials.
