Hard Harbour Area(partially)
public regulations
Noise Cap(Harbour Planning Ordinance)
1. development plans allow residential development without double facade
Soft Harbour HafenCity
private regulations
sales contracts: users accepting harbour noise(easement)
2. building permits: specific window concepts and noise absorption / location of bedrooms

WALKABLE CITY
SHORT DISTANCE MOBILITITY CONCEPT: CYLCLE PATHS AND FOOTWAYS
cycle path next to roads
joint usage for cycling and walking
cycle lane
cycles on the road
Cycling in HafenCity independent cycle and walkways
public spaces and promenadesaccessible to cycles
crossings
temporary use as cycle path
Elbe cycling route
Fuel-cell operated busses:
• bus line nr. 6 served by fuel-cell busses
• in cooperation with Vattenfall and Shell, Hamburg‘s publictransport service (HVV) plans the construction of a fuel-cellstation in HafenCity

HAFENCITY WEST: SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT CENTRAL HEATING SUPPLY
Central Heating SupplyObjectives (2002):
• secured supply• low price• high energy efficiency• CO2-Benchmark: below200 g/kWh:
target value 175 g/kWh
Mix of Technologies:
• district heating• solar heating• fuel cells
Result: Reduction of emmissions by central heating supply and CO2 limits.Reduction of CO2 emissions by 27% compared to natural gas use (even larger reductionspossible compared to oil or coal use)
Western HafenCity:district heating systemlocally completed with :
1. fuel cells2. solar heating3. CHP units

(heat source: fluvial water, power source biomethane orwood pellets)
2. low-temperature boiler for peak loads
Supply Area Eastern HafenCity:CO2-Benchmark: 89 g / kWh (Contract 2009)

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING CONCEPTS
Eco Label Categories
1. Sustainable use of energy ressourcespower requirements: residential buildings: <60 kWh/a m² or <40 kWh/a m²
power requirements: commercial buildings: < 190 kWh/a m² or <100 kWh/a m²2. Sustainable use of public goods
3. Use of environmentally friendly building materials
4. Special consideration for environment, comfort and health protection
5. Sustainable Facility Management
Usage of Competition and Market Processes• awarding of an eco-label and confering an environmentalaward
• certification of buildings
• promotion of energy efficient buildings in case of exclusiveoptions or/and the sale of plots under competitive marketconditions
