Historic rowing houses in Berlin – Energy-efficient renovation of one of the oldest buildings
Rowing has a long tradition in Berlin. The hall, built in 1903, is actively used by the Turbine Grünau club. However, this historic sports landmark requires energy-efficient renovation. In particular, renewable energy sources should be integrated into the energy supply to reduce energy costs. An energy cluster with neighboring clubs could also be formed. Furthermore, the newer part of the building remains empty and requires a utilization concept. The challenge lies in reconciling economically feasible measures with the listed architecture. A phased plan with short-, medium-, and long-term measures combined with funding opportunities makes sense in order to accommodate the club's budget. Close cooperation with the club will enable a realistic existing project whose implementation is feasible in the long term. The work should focus on developing solutions that integrate architecture, traditional use, and historic preservation with a forward-looking energy concept based on renewable sources.

Renovation of educational buildings in Hanover
The city has set itself the ambitious goal of becoming as climate-neutral as possible by 2035. This also requires a strategy for the city's educational buildings. Using the Friedrich Ebert Comprehensive School as an example, the goal is to develop such a strategy that combines the structural renovation of the building with the energy system's offerings. This strategy will achieve this zero-emission goal while simultaneously ensuring future use and indoor comfort in light of climate change. The master's thesis will be carried out in close cooperation with the City of Hanover. Contact with the responsible persons will be established upon request.

The house with the balcony
The sustainable preservation of urban structures combined with the renovation of existing buildings is a future-oriented task that must be implemented in an ecologically, economically, and, last but not least, socially acceptable manner. The residential building at Warschauer Straße 25, Kopernikusstraße 6, represents an outstanding case study that demonstrates the failure of private market actors, combined with excessive profit extraction at the expense of preservation and repair. Demolition, new construction, and displacement are threatened. The task of architecture, together with users and other stakeholders such as the Senate, housing associations, etc., is to develop a viable renovation strategy for the building that balances ecological, economic, and social sustainability requirements.
