Semi detached house Schmöller, Stuttgart | 2002
Project information
Architect Schmöller in Stuttgart is a lecturer at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences and one of the pioneers of ecological building technology. Like every planner, he first tried out his ideas on his own house. Photovoltaics and solar domestic water heating are a matter of course for him. As early as 1982, he had greywater and rainwater utilisation installed in addition to an air-to-water heat pump. The grey water from the shower, bathtub and washing machine is used for the toilet. The rainwater from the roof of the house is used to supply the washing machine and water the garden.

Project information
Special products for the filtration of rainwater did not exist on the market at that time. The self-designed screens required a lot of maintenance. Therefore, they were replaced with WISY filter technology. Plumber Dieter Vogel-Brenner from Esslingen took one hour to install each downpipe. Architect Schmöller had elegantly designed the line of filtered water below ground level.
