We look forward to meeting you in Calgary!

The Sparkasse in Bensheim is back in the city center: On October 31, the main branch was ceremoniously reopened. Among the guests were the Mayor of Bensheim, Christine Klein, and Chairman of the Management Board of Sparkasse Bensheim, Johannes Erich Schulz, who both emphasized the importance of this event for the town and the region.

CSZ is responsible for the entire structural design of the conversion and renovation project. We would like to thank everyone involved for their excellent cooperation and are delighted to have been part of this exciting project and to have contributed to the revitalization of Bensheim’s city centre!

State-of-the-art technology for innovative agricultural research
The new two-storey research greenhouse has been successfully handed over to its users. It offers optimal conditions for agricultural science and supports research into the material cycle between plants, insects and fish in the smallest of spaces. In this innovative approach, the previously separate three production systems are established in closed spatial units, the so-called CUBES.

Efficient use of resources in the CIRCLE
Plant production takes place in a transparent shell (film greenhouse) on the upper floor. Heat energy, water, liquid nutrients, gases, residual materials and information are exchanged between the units in closed energy and material cycles (CIRCLE). This enables the effective use of resources and promotes sustainable research approaches.

Planning and monitoring by CSZ
CSZ not only planned the sophisticated and modern building and greenhouse technology, but also developed the research-relevant process engineering and monitored its implementation. The building is heated and cooled by an efficient heat pump. If the heat storage tank is empty, the heating output can also be covered by district heating. The individual CUBES are heated and cooled as required using circulating air heating and cooling units, which are specially designed for rooms with high humidity levels.

Technical details at a glance:

• High-pressure spray system: Humidification and adiabatic cooling of the film greenhouse on the upper floor.
• Greenhouse control: Fault and operating messages are forwarded; the following areas are controlled and regulated:
  • finned tubes
  • Air circulation units (heating/cooling)
  • Mechanical cross ventilation via fans
  • High-pressure humidification
  • Actual values via sensors in the field (temperature, humidity, CO2, CH4, NH3, N2O, O2)
  • Window drives for roof ventilation
  • Assimilation lighting
  • Energy screens

Research with a future
CSZ wishes all employees of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin much joy and success in research and development in their new research greenhouse.
