Energieeinsparung und CO2-Emissionsminderung durch Sanierungsmaßnahmen von kommunalen Sporthallen

The building sector is responsible for a significant portion of Germany's energy consumption and national emissions. To date, it has been analyzed mainly as a whole or segmented into residential and non-residential buildings, with less emphasis on different building typologies. This study addresses this oversight by focusing on the typology of 'sports halls', which are predominantly municipally managed and were built during the era of the Golden Plan. Given the advanced age and ongoing maintenance backlog of these facilities, there is an urgent need for structural and energy renovations. This dissertation examines the obstacles and potentials for municipal energy renovations of sports halls. Through empirical research, barrier categories that influence municipal decision-makers in the implementation of renovation measures are first defined. Energy balancing performed on two representative practice halls highlights potentials for reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Additionally, an economic analysis is conducted to assess the costs and benefits. Based on these analyses, concrete recommendations are provided to overcome identified barriers and sustainably improve the energy efficiency and socio-cultural function of sports halls.
