Valby, Denmark
Rehabilitating former industrial sites is a key issue for many cities, and Valby, a district of 46,000 people in the south-western part of Copenhagen, is no exception.
The CONCERTO approach
In the Valby CONCERTO project actions will be carried out across a number of sites:
1) F.L. Smith industrial area, mainly new built, aimed to include both housing (100 units) and commercial building 5,000 m². Demonstration of PV, solar heating and cooling.
2) Vigerslev Vænge / Hornemanns Vænge. Here it is aimed to include renovation of 330 concrete housing units and use of 66 new climate optimised low energy prefabricated rooftop extensions with PV and solar heating.
3) Valby Sports Centre area including a new Water Cultural House of 10,000 m² to be built and also housing here. Use of PV and a wood pellet based gasification system for combined electricity and heat production. Also involvement of neighbour area Kgs. Enghave.
4) Option area with Valby main train station with new shopping centre and combined housing for elderly people and families with building integrated PV, 100 units.
5) Gadekærsvej. Retrofit housing block possibly with low energy rooftop apartments with PV and solar heating.
6) Carlsberg area. Former industrial area owned by Carlsberg breweries where low energy housing is planned.
7) Grønt torv. Industrial area where a transformation into an urban development area will take place over the next years.
8) Pumpehusvej/Karensminde area situated in Kgs. Enghave. Neighbour area to Valby Park area. The Karensminde area is foreseen for low cost new built housing organised by Kuben in cooperation with Copenhagen municipality.
Use of Renewable Energy Sources
• Photovoltaics
• Solar Thermal
• Cogeneration from Biomass, Biogas, Geothermal Energy etc.
Low Carbon Technologies
• Insulation
• Monitoring and Targeting (M & T)
• MVHR – Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Revovery
• Specific Façade Solutions relevant to Energy
• Glazing, Windows
• Optimised Lighting/Daylighting Systems
• Post Completion Testing (e.g. Blower Door Test)
