Abstract: 
This thesis examines the potential for integrating renewable energy into the energy supply of construction site containers. The aim is to develop a sustainable and technically feasible energy concept. First, the typical load profile of a conventional container was determined. Building on this, suitable technologies for renewable electricity and heat supply, as well as suitable storage systems, were considered. As part of a scenario analysis, various supply options – including a conventional, a grid-connected and an off-grid system – were developed and compared. The evaluation was based on a seasonal breakdown, taking into account technical, economic and environmental criteria, as well as the degree of self-sufficiency and the self-consumption rate. The results show that the use of renewable energies can significantly reduce grid electricity consumption, but that seasonal fluctuations entail a residual risk.
