The Solar Settlement at Schlierberg (‹See Tfd›German: Solarsiedlung am Schlierberg) is a 59-home PlusEnergy housing community in Freiburg, Germany. Solar architect Rolf Disch wanted to apply his PlusEnergy concept, created originally with his Heliotrope home, to mass residential production. The residential complex won awards, including House of the Year (2002), Residential PV solar integration award (2002), and "Germany's most beautiful housing community" (2006).[citation needed]
It is one of the first housing communities in the world[1] in which all the homes produce a positive energy balance[2] and which is emissions-free and CO2 neutral. [citation needed]
