DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY
In conjunction with the Düsseldorf public utility companies and the environmental offi ce (Umweltamt) of the state capital of Düsseldorf, WSP CBP was commissioned to develop a sustainable power supply to the district around the Seestern offi ce park on the bank of the Rhine river.
The aim was to facilitate the transition to greener infrastructure, with the focus on aspects including renewable energy sources, intelligent waste heat recovery, the incorporation of highly effi cient tri-generation systems as well as energy- and cost-optimised grid expansion. Using
scenarios of future energy requirements as a basis, various modular supply concepts were researched and a standardised expansion strategy, which looked at all infrastructure measures required for the implementation, was developed.
As a result of the fi nal energy concept,
massive CO2 savings of up to 84% or 23,300 tonnes per year can be made. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research supported this climate protection project and aims to transfer it to other cities and districts.
This project allowed WSP CBP to demonstrate its expertise in advising on sustainable communal power supplies and future, smart, cities.
that massive CO2 savings of up to 84% p.a. could be achieved.

Final energy concept demonstrated
BRUNNSHÖG, NEAR LUND, SWEDEN
A new city district called Brunnshög will be developed in the area surrounding the new ESS Science Park outside Lund in Sweden. The vision for this new city district, with more than 10,000 inhabitants and 15,000 work spaces, is to be an outstanding sustainable city development representing ecological, economic and social perspectives. The plan is to fully develop the area by 2030.
A sustainable energy system is a prerequisite for sustainable city development. The local municipality owns the energy utility Lunds Energi, which develops sustainable energy solutions for Brunnshög, thereby helping to achieve the vision. Low energy end use combined with renewable energy sources will lead to a sustainable energy system. The ESS will generate a substantial amount of waste heat. This can be used for district heating, absorptive cooling, appliances and electricity production.
The local energy utility Lunds Energi aims to WSP GROUP SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2010 | 17
be a driving force towards sustainability. Lunds Energi appointed WSP in 2010 to analyse sustainable energy solutions for the development. WSP began by considering three different scenarios of the new city district’s energy demand. This was followed by an analysis of different measures to further decrease energy use – both end use and primary energy – and making the energy system carbon neutral.
WSP has continued its work with smart grid analysis and strategic advice to the client, and we are now entering a phase with stakeholder interaction and cooperation. Among other activities we will be arranging workshops and training for contractors, architects, consultants and other relevant stakeholders.
