German National Parliament
„Deutscher Bundestag“ (Germany)

Reliable technology for maximum environmental standards
Renewable resources are an elementary element in the struggle
against climate change. They are available in constant quality and
with great security of supply and play an increasing role in the heat
market. The firing system installed in the German Bundestag shows
that firing with biogenic fuels functions reliably and thus makes a
major contribution to climate protection.
The fundamental reconstruction of the Reichstag building
from 1996 – 1999 not only resulted in the symbolic glass dome
designed by architect Norman Foster. Rather, the planning also set
technical and ecological standards: the entire energy concept of the
historical building was optimized consistently and thus placed very
high demands on the building services technology. Besides
extensive thermal insulation, a solar power system on the roof and
use of the subsoil as a heat store, the entire air conditioning system
was redesigned.
Two SKVJ burners form the heart of the firing system. They transform rapeseed oil and biodiesel from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
into heat for the room heating system and service water – and
meet the maximum demands of environmental protection and
reliability.

Fuel

biodiesel / rapeseed oil / LFO

* since 2011 SKVJ-M

The installed plant consists of two boilers that supply both
saturated steam and hot water for the Reichstag building and a
number of annexes.
The integrated and sustainable energy concept of the planners
envisaged consistent use of renewable energy sources and use of
fossil sources of energy only for emergencies and as igniting fuel.
The firing system not only has to burn biogenic fuels with varying
viscosity and different heating values. It also has to meet extremely
high demands regarding the emission values and availability of the
facility.
