Together with Chemnitz University of Technology, eins energie in sachsen has drawn up an energy neighbourhood concept for Brühl, which envisages the large-scale use of renewable energies and the construction of a low-temperature district heating network, coupled with a solar thermal field to be built. The concept is being subsidised as a pilot project by the city of Chemnitz, the federal government and the Free State of Saxony. Extensive funding was applied for from the urban development programme SOP - Active Local and District Centres. This has now been approved.
