As an information centre it will provide expert advice on renovation and preservation of historical buildings. In particular, the problems of energy efficiency, structural damage and the application of sustainable materials and procedures will be addressed.
Innovative solutions will be demonstrated directly on the building »Alte Schäfflerei« itself, different heating systems and interior insulation will be realized and regular exhibitions will take place on site. The activities include not only the model renovation of a significant historical building, but also micro-climate measurements, research on building services and materials as well as independent counseling on preservation and energy-efficient retrofitting.
Most important is a close interaction of craftmanship, science and monument preservation as well as the use of innovative materials and technologies for historical buildings. For the first time, architects, monument conservators, craftsmen, builders and stakeholders can obtain information and advice in a public information and counseling centre accommodated in a historical building. - The restoration of the building is partly financed by public funds. The Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt DBU supported the pilot project, including roof repair and insulation of the attic floor with renewable resources.
