COMPREHENSIVE RENOVATION IN BUILDINGS OF FEDERAL POLICE ST. AUGUSTIN, GERMANY
FACILITY Public buildings of Federal Police St. Augustin
COUNTRY Germany, St. Augustin
CUSTOMER Direct contracting entity is the BImA (Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben) and indirectly the Federal Police
TYPE OF BUILDING 84 buildings with a main floor space of 127,000 m²
GENERAL INFORMATION

The St. Augustin project provides an example of combining the technology measures implemented through EPC with the thermal envelope measures financed by the client.

The Bundespolizei (Federal Police Authority, FPA) commissioned Cofely to energetically optimize its facilities in Sankt Augustin, near Germany’s former capital Bonn. The BPA in St. Augustin is one of 9 regional FPAs in Germany, with about 3,500 police and administrative staff, and is responsible for all federal police assignments in the State of Northrhine- Westfalia. The site comprises 84 buildings with a main floor space of 127,000 m².

Cofely guarantees an energy cost reduction of 55% during the contract term of 10 years and will reduce local CO2 emissions by 5,200 tons per year. Direct contracting entity is the BImA (Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben) and indirectly the Federal Police, whose high security standards have to be observed. The contract is based on an energy performance contract bid issued by dena, the German Energy Agency. Main requirements of the contract: 50% of the heat are to be supplied carbon-neutral; energetic refurbishment of one building; reduction of energy consumption. Cofely developed a package of tailor-made measures for the optimization of heat and power supply, lighting systems, domestic hot water, building automation and metering technology as well as building reconstruction. To our best knowledge, this is one of the most comprehensive energy performance projects in Europe to date, with a high degree of technical complexity, an above-average energy savings guarantee of 55%, the integration of renewable energy sources and above all, the refurbishment of the building shell.

Cofely was awarded with the European Energy Service Award 2014 with reference to this project.
