Multimodal mobility in Freiburg & the new City Hall (RIS) –        a Positive Energy building

Freiburg is an exemplary city when it comes to mobility: multimodal platform, tramway network, bicycle paths, extension of the pedestrian zone, car-sharing, parking management, etc.

In the second part of the visit, we will present the new City Hall, which houses the city’s technical services as well as services to citizens. This oval building is a Positive Energy tertiary building. Its facades and roof are covered with photovoltaic modules. It uses not only solar energy, but also reversible geothermal energy from the groundwater.

These two visits will be animated by two interactive activities:

–   With the help of cards, students will discover the environmental issues related to transportation as well as the advantages of soft modes of transportation.
–   We have printed the cross-sectional diagram of the new City Hall in large format on fabric. This poster and cards will be used as a teaching aid to help students understand the construction techniques of Positive Energy buildings and their challenges and benefits.
