geoENERGIE Konzept GmbH Team
Dipl.-Geol. Rüdiger Grimm
Rüdiger Grimm is the owner and managing director of geoENERGIE Konzept GmbH, which was founded in 2007. His tasks in the project include participating in the creation of strategies, the information and decision support system and the coordination of data acquisition. In addition, he provides impulses for all content-related work packages and contributes to the transfer of results via various channels.
M.Sc. Konstanze Zschoke
Konstanze Zschoke, Head of R&D, works as project manager and coordinates the tasks of the project staff. She works on the contributions to the definition of load profiles for different building types as well as the development and parameterization of numerical models of usage options for heating / cooling based on this. Another area of responsibility is the formulation of proposals for adapting dimensioning procedures and regulatory framework conditions for the use of near-surface geothermal resources.
Dipl.-Hydrol. Steve Thiel
Steve Thiel, project assistant, participates in the implementation of simulation calculations and sensitivity studies. He contributes to the identification of the current state of geological and geophysical exploration during construction as well as monitoring during the operation of large-scale near-surface geothermal systems. He is also involved in the formulation of the resulting requirements for technologies and processes for in-situ measurements and monitoring.
Dipl.-Geol. Danilo Berrios Amador
Danilo Berrios, project assistant, is in charge of the technical preparation, implementation and post-processing of site work for in-situ exploration for model parameterization and validation as well as for impact monitoring at planned demonstration sites.
