Reducing urban heat islands and transportation problems in tropical cities ETH – ADB Manila, August 28, 2013 Prof Gerhard Schmitt, ETH Zürich Director, Singapore-ETH Centre Senior Vice President, ETH Global
•! Tropical cities suffer increasingly from the urban heat and pollution island effect as well as from transportation and mobility problems. The ETH Future Cities Laboratory at the Singapore-ETH Centre places these situations into a broader urban metabolism context and proposes integrated solutions. Urban planning and economics emerge as key factors, as demonstrated with case studies from Singapore, Indonesia and Ethiopia.

IM FOKUS64 1 | 2011
An der Bolleystrasse in Zürich entsteht ein Haus, das ganz ohne CO2-Emissionen auskommen soll. Das Konzept stammt von der ETH Zürich und soll eine neue Generation der nachhaltigen Architektur einläuten. Dabei soll nicht mehr das Energiesparen um jeden Preis im Zentrum stehen, sondern nur noch die Emissionsfreiheit. Ob alle Ziele der «Towards Zero Emission Architecture» eingehalten werden können, muss sich in der Praxis weisen. DANIEL RÖTTELE (INFOGRAFIK) UND STEFAN BACHMANN
Das Haus der Zukunft NULL-EMISSIONEN-ARCHITEKTUR
8 Hybridkollektor: Hybridkollektor: Der neu entwickelte Hybridkollektor besteht aus zwei Schichten: Die obere Schicht aus Solarzellen generiert Strom. Durch die untere Schicht fl iesst Wasser, das sich durch die Sonneneinstrahlung erwärmt. Interessantes Detail: Die wasserführende Unterschicht dient auch der Kühlung der Solarzellen in der Oberschicht. Dadurch arbeiten die Solarzellen viel effi zienter.
6 Zuluft: Die Zuluft für die Klimaanlage durchläuft einen Wärmetauscher («Airbox»), bevor sie in die Wohnungen gelangt. Während die Luft im Sommer so gekühlt wird, kann die Wärme abgeführt und genutzt werden.
7 Abluftgerät: Auch der Abluft wird mittels einem Wärmetauscher nochmals Wärme entzogen, die eingespeichert werden kann.
5 Bodenkühlung/-heizung: Im Sommer dienen die Wasser- rohre im Fussboden der Kühlung. Dabei wird die Wärme abgeführt und in den Untergrund geleitet, die Räume werden so gekühlt. Im Winter wird das Haus mit der Bodenheizung beheizt.
4 Hocheffi ziente Wärmepumpe: Die Wärmepumpe ist das eigentliche Anstriebssystem, das mit Hilfe der Erdsonden das Wasser erwärmt. Betrieben wird sie mit Solar- und Windstrom aus dem Netz. Sie ist viel effi zienter als eine herkömmliche Wärmepumpe, weil sie mehr Wärme aus dem Untergrund holen kann.
Heizen und Isolieren im Wandel der Zeit
Bis 1940 heizt man mit Holz/Kohle. Wärme- dämmung ist kein Thema. Weil Heizen teuer ist, bleiben viele Räume kalt.
Dank der Entwicklung der Zentralheizung und dank billigem Öl können jetzt alle Räume beheizt werden.
Die Oelkrise 1973 führt zu ersten Wärmedämmvor- schriften. Man beginnt, die Gebäudehülle zu isolieren.
Im Passivhaus wird die Ölheizung obsolet - dank guter Isolation und dem Einsatz neuer Energie- quellen (Sonne, Boden).
So funktioniert das Haus im Sommer Ziel der «Null-Emissionen-Architektur» ist es, im Sommer möglichst viel Wärme «einzusammeln» und für den Winter im Erdboden zwischenzu- speichern. Aufgefangen wird die Wärme haupt- sächlich von einem neuartigen Hybridkollektor auf dem Dach. Mittels eines Wärmetauschers gelangt die Wärme dann in den Boden, wo sie in bis zu 300 Metern Tiefe für das Winterhalbjahr eingespeichert wird. Anders wird das Dusch- und Gebrauchswasser aufgeheizt: Hier stammt die Wärme vor allem aus der Wärmerückgewinnung von Fussboden und Klimaanlage. Über Wärme- tauscher und eine Wärmepumpe wird so das Wasser im Boiler aufgeheizt. Die überschüssige Wärme wird ebenfalls im Erdboden «zwischen- gespeichert». Das «Null-Emissionen-Haus» hat laut den ETH-Architekten gegenüber dem nor- malen Minergie-Standard zwei Vorteile: Erstens benötigt es besonders wenig Netzstrom. Das eröffnet die Möglichkeit, nur noch Strom aus erneuerbaren Quellen zu beziehen - das Haus wird beinahe emissionsfrei. Zweitens wird eine dicke Isolation zweitrangig, was den Architekten mehr Freiheiten lässt.
N
2 Fenster: Die nach Süden exponierten Fenster sind mit einer UV-absorbierenden Folie beschichtet, die eine zu starke Sonneneinstrahlung verhindern. Das mindert den Wärmeverlust im Winter.
1 Wände: Das System kommt mit normaler Wärmedämmung aus, die Isolation ist weniger dick als bei einem Minergie-Haus.
Noch tiefer ist der Ener- giebedarf des Speicher- hauses. Hier wird die Sonnenenergie zentral gespeichert.
Die ETH postuliert die «Zero Emissions-Archi- tecture». Die Speiche- rung der Sonnenenergie erfolgt neu im Boden.
So gewinnt man die Energie im Winter zurück Im Winter sorgt die Wärmepumpe im Keller sowohl für die Heizung. Beheizt wird sowohl der Fussboden aus auch die Zuluft. Die Wärme stammt dabei aus dem Untergrund. An besonders schönen Wintertagen kann die Wärmepumpe zudem etwas durch die Hybridkollektoren entlastet werden. Auch das Gebrauchswasser wird von der Wärmepumpe geliefert. Kleine Durchlauferhitzer erwärmen das Wasser dann noch von 42 auf 60 Grad.

3 Erdsonden/Erdspeicher: Die Erdsonden bestehen aus Rohren, in denen Wasser zirkuliert. In der langen Sonde fl iesst im Sommer warmes Wasser nach unten, was das Gestein um einige Grad erwärmt. Im Winter kann die Wärme dann wieder genutzt werden. Die kurze Sonde speichert die überschüssige Wärme aus der Klima- anlage. Im Winter ist sie stillgelegt.
