Renewable Energy in the Urban Environment, Berlin; 19-23 May 2008

The German Solar Energy Society and Green Dragon Energy are jointly organising a five-day seminar in Berlin to explore the role of renewable energy in the urban and semi-urban environment.

Germany is a world-leader in the renewable energy sector. Already 5% of its exports are in the field of energy technology.

The seminar will include numerous visits to renewable energy installations in Berlin – PV systems, solar thermal systems, heat pumps, bioenergy plants, low-energy and passive solar buildings – and the emphasis will be on how things work and what it is practicable to do.

By the end of the five days, participants should be able to create initial designs for renewable energy systems.
