SUSTAINABILITY
AT THE DGPPN CONGRESS 2015
The DGPPN will continue to conduct its annual congress as a sus-
tainable, environmentally friendly congress. In this way we face up
to our responsibility for the environment and for our children. We
want to send a clear signal and address to this important topic.
Our partners CPO HANSER SERVICE and the Messe Berlin will also
participate. We hope that the congress participants will support this
initiative with their own behaviour and ideas.
Messe Berlin
Berlin supports sustainability and environ-
mental protection in the following ways:
|
|
2 thermal power stations for economical
and environmentally compatible power
and heat production
|
|
Wood pellets plant to obtain CO2-neutral
energy from renewable raw materials
|
|
Heat recovery systems in the exhibition
halls
|
|
Energy saving by:
|
|
Minimal heating / cooling while events
are assembled and dismantled
|
|
Energy-optimised switching concepts
for outdoor lighting
|

Waste separation by using bins for sepa-
rating waste in public areas
