Combined heat and power (CHP) plants are buildings in which systems for generating electrical energy and heat are housed. The buildings have boiler, pump and engine rooms as well as rooms for control technology, switching stations, transformers, crane systems, sanitary and personnel areas.
The CHP plants are buildings with hall-like areas in reinforced concrete construction. Reinforced concrete columns are combined with solid reinforced concrete walls (partially insulated) and ribbon windows. The ceilings in these plants are made of reinforced concrete, while the roofs are steel structures that include reinforced concrete ceiling slabs, thermal insulation and flat roofing.

Raw material categories (t)
Mineral raw material categories
The allocation of mineral building materials to raw material categories is based on formulas. These specify the type and quantity of raw materials required for the production of the mineral building materials. The differentiation according to raw material categories forms the basis for the estimation of raw material requirements as a contribution to the resource conservation discussion.
Waste categories (t)
Mineral waste categories
The allocation of mineral building materials to waste categories is based on the Waste Catalogue Ordinance (AVV). The waste categories reflect which construction and demolition materials are produced during demolition. Their differentiation is an important link towards the execution of recycling in order to identify future recycling potentials.
Material-induced emissions (kg)
Determination of the building material-induced emissions ("grey emissions") is based on life-cycle assessment data from the Ökobaudat database (according to DIN EN 15804+A2). The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is taken into consideration. It indicates how much CO2 equivalent is generated during the production of building materials (modules A1-A3), taking into account the given energy mix. The statements regarding CO2 emissions help to describe greenhouse effects as a contribution to the discussion of climate protection aspects.
