Abstract
Two key issues for the future of societies are the
supply of energy and the supply of water. Both topics
are tightly connected to each other: energy conversion
uses and consumes water; water supply requires energy.
In order to act in a sustainable way, we have to intensify
energy recovery and water recovery (e.g., re-use of grey
water), and we have to develop the technological
opportunities which are hidden in combination and
interdependence of both. Moreover, we have to integrate
architecture and urban planning. Our teaching and research activities are oriented towards these goals.
