Karlsruhe-Rintheim

Presentation of the district

In the residential district “Rintheimer Feld”, the public housing society “Volkswohnung GmbH Karlsruhe” owns 30 buildings, with a total living area of 65.000 m².
The buildings were built in two phases: 22 multi-family houses in the middle 1950’s and eight tower buildings in the early 1970’s. Between 1998 and 2008, 11 buildings were fully refurbished, the remaining 2/3 are either only partially or non-refurbished.

A few years ago, a detailed energy audit has been carried out for this building stock: File:Geb Beschr Rintheim Stand 2008.pdf ‎
The buildings were classified as follows into six different types, according to their energy efficiency:

• Type 1: non-refurbished multifamily-houses, built in 1954-1956
• Type 2: non-refurbished tower buildings, built in 1974
• Type 3: multifamily-houses, built in 1974, partially refurbished (façade in 1975, roof in 2003)
• Type 4: multifamily-houses, built in 1954, fully refurbished in 1998
• Type 5: multifamily-houses, built in 1954, fully refurbished in 2000
• Type 6: multifamily-houses and tower buildings, fully refurbished in 2007

The detailed information collected during this audit (e.g. U-values assessment, thermal bridges, heating system) was integrated in the 3D city model “Level of Detail 2” of the city Karlsruhe as building semantic information.
