Energy Plus

Another example of sustainable development initiative occurs in Freiburg, Germany. The large use of solar energy by using solar panels at the roofs of the buildings has created the concept of 'energy plus' -  that means the building produces more energy than its use. Freiburg has a good weather and the amount of sunlight during the year is helpful for the energy production.

The negative point is the price - the houses have a relative high-cost initial investment and the residents expect that only after 10 years the exceeding investment will be converted in profit - once they sell the exceeding energy.
