The example of the German
Parliament One of the mandatory for the
tourists to visit Berlin, the capital of reunified
Germany, is the visit to
parliament, or as they call "O". Built between 1884 and 1894, this imposing
building was severely destroyed during the Second World War, and only restored between 1995 and 1999. In front of the building you can see huge queues of tourists waiting to visit him, especially to see a dome of glass and steel and a mirrored cone on your roof. What this mass of tourists do not know is that, beyond architectural beauty, the building houses a innovative system for the production and use of energy. Last August I had the opportunity to conduct a technical visit to the Reichstag hidden, where a large team of technicians working continuously to produce and manage energy consumption of the building.
