Heliotrope Tour
The Heliotrope was the first Plusenergiehaus® worldwide – a quantum leap in solar architecture. The spectacular building rotates by itself with the sun.

The structural design and the rotation mechanism
The energy concept and the building insulation
The solar generation and allocation of the heat energy, warm water and power
The heating concept with floor heating and new-age, low-temperature-radiant ceiling heating
The active ventilation unit with heat recovery and earth-to-air heat exchanger
The utilization of rainwater
The waste management concept with dry composting and primary gray water treatment

Further Options
The visits can be further combined with a lecture (ie: about the new developments and growth of the Plusenergiehaus®), and for instance the current solar community plans in several German cities / communities. The lectures will be given by competent employees at our architecture office in the “sun deck”, the conference room of the Sun Ship building.
Should you want Rolf Disch personally to give a lecture or to be available for a short Q&A after the tour, please simply ask and we will submit a corresponding offer.
Because of frequent requests: We do not give tours through the entire Vauban quarter (in which lies the Solar Settlement), rather of course only for the projects for which we are responsible and with which we have first-hand experience.
