The Remishueb district, with five houses belonging to housing associations and around 150 residents, is due to become a "smart" neighbourhood and contribute towards the development of Smart City St.Gallen. Future certification as a "2000-Watt Site" is also targeted. Electricity and heat are supplied by gas-operated cogeneration plants and a photovoltaic plant has also been installed. Currently under consideration is a district battery bank. What's more, the "Remishueb-App" is available for all residents. With the app, a bike can be hired, for example. The app also gives information on charging stations for electric cars. Remishueb is a good example of the interplay of technological possibilities as well as their use by the residents.
