square heating

The Science Tower takes account of the negative conditions of the fine dust loads and the winterly salt spills and will keep the square around the Science Tower in winter free of snow. This is achieved by the coupling of the geothermal buffer with a surface heating under the square around the Science Tower, which always maintains the surface temperature above 0 ° C and thus guarantees an ice-freeness. In the summer the area of the square can also act as a solar collector and help to transfer additional energy into the seasonal storage.
