The Challenge
Anna Architect, head of a major real estate development project, was planning a new residential and commercial district that needed to integrate sustainable energy sources and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The project had to meet the growing demand for EV charging while ensuring energy efficiency and minimizing the environmental footprint. Anna faced the challenge of determining the optimal number and type of charging stations to serve both residential and commercial users, balancing fast and regular charging needs. Additionally, she had to incorporate solar panels and battery storage to support the buildings’ energy supply, ensuring reliability while keeping operational costs low. At the same time, the connection to the local power grid needed to be robust and efficient, capable of handling peak demands without overwhelming the system.
The Decision
After evaluating several tools and methods, Anna chose elbwire to streamline the entire energy planning process. “The app helped us not only precisely plan the charging infrastructure but also integrate solar panels and battery storage into our project,” says Anna. With elbwire, she could simulate various energy scenarios, comparing the performance of different configurations based on local conditions like sunlight availability and energy demand. “We were able to simulate different scenarios and find the most efficient solution for our development.” The app’s ability to factor in real-world parameters, such as grid capacity and energy prices, made it easier for Anna to make informed decisions that aligned with both her sustainability goals and budgetary constraints.
Successful Implementation
With the support of elbwire, Anna was able to efficiently integrate charging stations, solar panels, and grid connections into the construction project. Instead of struggling with communication overload between different trades, elbwire allowed her to bundle the various requirements into one streamlined workflow. “The app helped us align the needs of electricians, energy suppliers, and installation teams, which significantly improved efficiency and reduced the risk of delays,” she explains. This approach ensured faster implementation and a smoother operation process. By consolidating the different aspects of the infrastructure, Anna was able to optimize the energy supply through PV systems and battery storage while also ensuring scalability for future growth in EV adoption. Additionally, this integration minimized dependency on external power sources during peak hours, leading to substantial long-term energy cost reductions.
The Result
Today, Anna’s project is a showcase for sustainable urban development, successfully integrating renewable energy and modern charging infrastructure. “Thanks to elbwire, we were able to ensure not only a future-proof energy supply but also perfectly integrate electromobility,” says Anna. “Our real estate projects are now better prepared for the demands of tomorrow,” she adds, highlighting how elbwire’s solutions have enabled her to design an adaptable infrastructure capable of evolving with future advancements in energy and mobility. This has positioned Anna’s development as a benchmark for sustainable urban planning in the region.
