At SEBR, we are proving that existing buildings can be successfully transformed into infrastructures largely powered by renewable energy.
In Nuremberg, after installing a high-efficiency heat pump system, 200 rooftop solar panels (87 kW), a battery storage system, and an advanced energy management system at the elementary school, we are now seeing concrete results:
📈 Last Month’s Monitoring Dashboard Results:
👉 The building has generated significantly more electricity than it consumed.
👉 Battery systems have significantly increased the use of energy produced on-site, optimizing self-consumption.
👉 The active management and control of the heat pump — based on available solar production, building utilization, and weather data — has substantially reduced energy drawn from the grid.
These results confirm:
✅ That the real-world renovation strategy is highly effective.
✅ That energy storage and intelligent energy management are critical to maximizing renewable energy use.
✅ That users (facility managers, staff, and students) play a key role in maximizing the energy performance through behavior change.
Beyond the technology, we continue to empower the school community through training sessions, workshops, and active participation.
This is not only a technical success story, it’s a replicable model bringing cities closer to real climate neutrality.
