A building that

● for a long time and● without major changes● with low environmental impact● intense● economic and● is used with great advantages for all stakeholders,

is ecologically worthwhile.

All of our activities, we should ask again and again on this foundation, because otherwise we lose because of blindness about details the most important task of building:

To serve the human, and to built up a cultural landscape in the global dynamic equilibrium.

The Concept Energetic self-sufficient Settlement: Renewable Energy and

Waste-to-Energy as sources combined covers demand of electricity, heating and cooling – in countries with more than 2.000 hours of sun per year a surplus of energy can be produced.

Waste Utilization: Recycling of raw materials, energetic utilization based on gasification and solarthermal wastewater evaporation

Prefabricated Houses: Optimized passive-house architecture combined with the advantages of pre-fabrication leads to high-quality and economically pricing

Urban Structure: Ultimately, the task of a city is to supply essential requirements such as housing, employment, food and recreation. A balanced planning process is necessary

Self-sufficient energy supplyfrom solar thermal energy with combined and intergrated waste-to-energy concept for a residential allotment

There are four components in this operation:● Solarthermal production of heat for:

– production of electricity– evaporation of domestic sludge

● Production of electricity from heat of burning dried solid content of domestic sludge● Gasification of municipality waste and production of:

– electricity– process heat– light fuel– clean water– different raw materials

• Solar climatisation of residential buildings (solar heating/cooling)

All components are connected and synchronized to ensure the efficiency and uninterruptibility of the energy production.

Listing of processable waste

The processing technology for thermal waste disposal, including the production of fuel, electricity and thermal energy is applicable to a wide range of waste material, including:

● Municipal waste● Hazardous waste● Sewage sludge of wastewater treatment plants● Agricultural waste (biomass)● Rubber waste● Chemical waste● Waste of electronic industry● Plastics● etc.

Sample calculation

of self-sufficient energy supply with combined and intergrated waste-to-energy concept for a residential allotment with 35.000 houses

It is assumed, that every household consumes 4 kW electricity per hour

The consumption of airconditioning is not counted, because the buildings are cooled solar.

Consumption is calculated for a 4-person household per unit.

The Houses

Our goal is it to convert the optimal connection of ecological and economic aspects as well as of functionality and architectural organization with construction of buildings. Consistently we set for the realization of our projects on our economical construction system. With a large attention we observed and converted world wide construction trends by us. By using the newest construction and building technologies we are always „up to date“.

Framework construction - for a pleasant indoor climate

The timber frame construction, in America, Scandinavia and Western Europe and in Germany has long been proven successful for over 10 years, is an efficient network system.

It is in the range of cost-saving construction and proven surface, a special design principle. This is in accordance with the recommendations of the German federal government worked Carpenters (BDZ).

The supporting elements are made of solid timber. The structural reinforcement of the Ge-edifice is the cladding of external walls, roof and ceilings with wood based panel achieved with quality verified OSB.

Pricing houses

Prefabricated houses can be designed in nearly every architectural style.

To include in a project waste utilization a minimum number of 15.000 houses is needed to make it feasible, because a waste treatment plant is modular and the smallest unit utilizes 100 to of waste per day.

Depending on style, equipment, etc. turnkey prices for e.g. 190 sqm houses of such a project start at about 89.000 - 94.000 €.

Taking in consideration that there will be no energy costs at all for lifetime of the houses and all waste handling is included, the real feasibility and advantages are obvious.

Additional profit because of e.g. surplus production of energy have to be calculated depending on given projects.

The Opportunity

Climate change due to CO2 emissions, the oil’s high price and its nature of limited resource make up the case for Renewable Energies as strategic investments for institutional investors and governments.

Climate change is forcing governments worldwide to establish legal frameworks, such as the Law on Renewable Energy in Germany and other European countries, or current laws being approved in Canada.

Opportunities also arise in Waste to Energy from the harmonization trend within the EU regarding environmental requirements and the development of the East European countries.

Philosophy

muench group’s philosophy is the identification of problems and the proposal of solutions

muench group focuses on developing and implementing projects to solve particular problems and utilizing the best technical and economical solution available

Helping clients to meet Kyoto protocol’s objectives Multidisciplinary approach

18

Technology

The company has secured preferential technology rights, access to patents and commercialisation rights for several technologies

Major progress has already been made in negotiating co-operation rights and business alliances with other engineering companies, general constructors, technology providers, facility operators and other companies

Other patents and products under study lead to the expansion of in-house proprietary technology. Further subsidies can be obtained for utilizing new technologies in projects.

Proprietary technology can also be exported via technology transfer services.
