CIBARQ10, the IV Conference of Architecture, Cities, and Energy
“Energy is a vital resource, the raw material of human activity that is gradually becoming more important in society. At CENER (Centro Nacional de Energías Renovables) we are convinced that a sustainable future inevitably implies a balance between human activity and the capacity to regenerate the ecosystems that support this activity. This debate has a direct influence on the way we understand our cities and the way we live in them.
CIBARQ10, the IV Conference of Architecture, Cities, and Energy, is being consolidated as an open and critical forum of reflection on this balance, which describes us the different connections between the elements that make up The City – public space, buildings, infrastructures, and people – and the need for its rearrangement in search of a more efficient, more human, and healthier model.”
We agree with this manifest of CENER, and are we happy to be invited to hold a presentation on the CIBARQ10 conference: “Renewable Energy in urban areas. The Freiburg case”.
And we are really inspired by the creative way of rethinking traffic on the conference homepage: Klick here www.cibarq.com – then click on the red TV screen. - Viva la Ciudad!

Presentation on the Sustainable Building 2010 Congress (SB10)
“Towards Zero-Impact Buildings and Environments”
The area of the Maas and the Rhine is a region of old European culture – with lots of first-class research institutes and innovative companies. Flanders and Wallonia, the Netherlands and the Aachen region are related to each other in manifold ways, and together they constitute one of those clusters that the “Europe of regions” is made up of and gets its momentum from.
Institutions from all four parts of that cross-border region have come together to organise “SB 10”, the “Sustainable Building 2010” congress, and the United Nation Ecology Programme (UNEP) is on board, too. It will take place at four venues in Maastricht, Hasselt, Liège and Aachen.
SB10 is all about creating a knowledge base for advanced developments and innovations in the field of environment achievements at various levels, namely at product level, building level, neighbourhood level, urban level and regional level. In addition to zero impact, the key word is ‘environmentally neutral’. SB10 wishes to be a podium for supervised research and for recent examples of the inevitable future for our constructed environment. Scientific solutions will be translated into practical applications for realising zero impact buildings and environments.
Rolf Disch, too, will try to contribute to the idea of moving forward: from the Plusenergiehaus® over Plusenergy neighbourhoods to 100-Percent-Renewable regions.

World Trade Centre, Mexico City
Presentation on the Second International Forum for Sustainable Residential Construction (Segundo Foro Internacional de Vivienda Sustenable)
Also in developing countries there are a lot of interesting approaches to sustainable building construction. Because there is a lot more building activity than in the saturated “Western” nations, and because there are great problems with urban growth, social upheaval, air pollution, waste, traffic and not least with the energy supply.
The Instituto del Fondo Nacional de la Vivienda para los Trabajadores (Institute of the National Domestic Construction Fund for the Workers) – about 10 % of all Mexicans live in houses and flats financed by that fund – organize their second international sustainability conference – in this special year of the bicentennial of Mexico’s independence. The topic: “The return to the city quarter.”
Rolf Disch SolarArchitecture have been invited to present architecture and urban planning of the Vauban quarter, and especially of the Solar Settlement in Freiburg. Following a second presentation for a number of building development companies, concrete possibilities of transfer, implementation and cooperation will be discussed.
Please see the address by the Mexican President at the First Sustainability Forum.

„Freiburg goes ahead – Measures for a 100% Renewable Energy Supply"
The fascinating documentary film „Energy Autonomy. The Fourth Generation” has been running for five weeks now. Already well before the release, campaigning groups all had come together all over Germany, not only to call everybody’s attention to the film with their activities and events, but also to seize its suggestions and inspirations – and act on them.
All Freiburg grassroots campaigners and “green” companies involved will now come together again in the lecture hall of the Catholic Academy to make suggestions how the Energy Autonomy movement should advance further. Everyone is invited to present his suggestions: What exactly will he or his initiative, his company, his association do? All this will be tied together to a package of concrete and coordinated measures.
Rolf Disch, Solar Architects and chairman of the 100 % GmbH – the regional association for sustainable business – will present a catalogue of possible measures, expose the basic issues, suggest a framework for all the activities, and show some guidelines how to come up with concrete suggestions to the economy, politics, NGOs and the citizens.
Starting from the Federal State Goverment political agenda, Disch will show how they could be realized on a local and regional level, aiming at no less than 100 percent renewable energy supply. And Freiburg must take a leading role …

Green Roofs and Renewable Energies
Stuttgart/Nuertingen

In the centre of the presentations and discussions will be the current technical developments of recent years, spectacular green roof projects of renowned architects, as well as international green roof guidelines and regulations. In addition, there will be workshops and excursions to regional green roof projects.
