The retrofitting area "Bergedorf-Süd" is a town quarter with a wide mix of old buildings (approximately 500) partially with Wilhelminian architecture and a highly diversified homeownership. As part of mySMARTLife, the borough, together with the company konsalt, proactively approaches the homeowners in order to motivate and advise them on energetic refurbishment, like retrofitting of the roofs, windows or the façade.

Another aim is to implement the concept of “smart heating islands”, which describes heating networks on house block scale with several participants, based on combined heat and power units combined with different renewable energy sources.
