The heat generated by the low hanging winter sun is significant and ensures that apartments can mostly do without heating. Only in the case of very cold temperatures, rooftop photovoltaic units supply power for heating as well as for hot water. In summer, lateral ventilation enables cooling. Should temperatures continue to rise in the future, the bathrooms of each apartment offer room
for aerothermal heat pumps. Following subsequent installation, they can be used for heating and cooling.
