Visitors center in Fischbach, Vosges du Nord/Pfälzerwald biosphere reserve.
The biosphere house draws its heating fuel from the sun and nearby spring. It takes a whole row of control, storage, and heat transfer systems in between to assure the optimum supply of heat for the building.
Is a construction of heating systems based on regenerative energy (i.e. direct building heating with solar energy). The solar coverage of the annual heating energy amounts to > 88 %. When solarization is at its lowest and storage tanks are empty, a heat pump is used to provide supplementary heating. Climate control of the exhibition with environmental energy.
