Living without a 'second rent'

摘要

Vacuum tube collectors feed a vacuum storage. The heat is required for a laundry belonging to a workshop for disabled people. Like the funnels of an ocean liner the two metal giants rise into the sky. But here in Middle-Franconian Weissenburg, Germany, there are no ocean liners and the metal giants won't be visible for much longer either. They are to become the heat storage of a solar housing block with 19 flats, which the housing association Wohnungsgenossenschaft Eigenheim eG is currently building. The two solar storages will each have a volume of 74 m~3 and will soon disappear behind the walls of the new building.
