Abstract

In order to achieve their sustainable targets, cities are today looking for better solutions for integrating infrastructure systems into their urban planning. A large variety of tools exists for decision support both in energy planning and in city planning, but few of them combine detailed multi-energy modelling and a user-centered collaborative development process in the early phases of an urban project. With the opening of the Berlin Brandenburg Airport, the Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin TXL) will be redeveloped as an innovative hub for cutting-edge research and industry under the umbrella of Berlin TXLThe Urban Tech Republic (UTR). The European Institute for Energy Research (EIFER), the energy provider Electricité de France (EDF), the Department of Urban and Regional Planning (ISR) of the University of Technology Berlin (TU Berlin) and the Drees and Sommer Advanced Building Technologies company for energy design started in 2014 a collaboration with Tegel Projekt GmbH, the agency in charge of the development of the site, in order to unify urban and energy planning for the redevelopment of Berlin TXL. Based on an innovative modelling approach coupling both spatial and multi-energy systems, they developed a simulation prototype illustrating the interrelation between different technologies, land uses, and planning decisions. Several collaborative workshops were conducted as TU Urban_Labs led by the TU Berlin in order to integrate relevant actors into the planning process. This paper describes the integrative and collaborative approach developed by the participants to answer the needs and questions of Tegel Projekt GmbH regarding the energy planning of the future redevelopment of Berlin TXL according to the spatial setting.
