1 New Instruments for Building Quality and Climate Protection Dipl.-Ing. Walter Hüttler Austrian Energy Agency Austrian Energy Agency Weiz, October 14, 2005

2 New Instruments EU Buildings Directive Energy Performance Certificate Ecological Standards in Housing Development Advisory services within the framework of klima: aktiv

3 EU Building Directive: Instruments Total energy efficiency calculation method (building envelope, heating and hot water, ventilation, cooling, built-in lighting, solar systems) Minimum requirements for new buildings and existing buildings (> 1000m²) in the event of major refurbishment (if technically, functionally, economically feasible) Consideration of renewable energy sources (new building> 1000m²)

4 EU Building Directive: Instruments Energy performance certificate for new and existing buildings Regular inspection of boilers and air conditioners Qualification of specialized personnel Mix of regulatory and market instruments

5 Implementation of the EU Building Directive National implementation by 4 January 2006 Responsible for the legal implementation mainly at the Länder (technical part) in the context of the ongoing harmonization process for the building codes of the Länder: Draft for new directive of the OIB (Österreichisches Institut für Bautechnik ) Federal Law on Civil Law Concerning the Energy Performance Certificate in Preparation (BMJ)

6 What is an energy pass? Description of the energy efficiency of a building dep. of building envelope, heating system, hot water etc. Type certificate with indication of standard consumption with defined mode of operation in kwh / m².a Passive house 15 New building Low energy 50 Standard building code 80 Single family house 1960 uninsulated up to 250 labels (efficiency classes) for orientation Suggestions for modernization measures

8 Energy certificate: Benefits Increasing market transparency for tenants and buyers, investors (risk) Recommendations for improvement measures as information for building owners Quality assurance in new construction and renovation Marketing instrument for the housing and real estate industry is already being used by individual developers in the future quality card

9 Energy performance certificate in practice Uniform energy performance certificate for the whole of Austria New building no additional costs existing building Transitional regulation: Existence from 2009 greatly simplified procedure for data acquisition but same calculation method, therefore comparable to new construction costs for residential buildings: Phasing In voluntary implementation in the stock from 2007

11 Housing subsidies In addition to the socio-political function, the central instrument of the Länder for the greening of housing construction in new construction and increasingly also in renovation 2002: 2.3 billion new construction 1.8 Rehabilitation 0.5 Proportion of renovation: around one-fifth constant for years

12 Housing subsidies: what has been achieved? New construction: low energy = standard (Vbg, Vienna) Renovation: energy key figures in most federal states Greening of ecological building materials etc. only in a few states (Vbg, Sbg) Different funding models: AZ, non-repayable subsidies different attractive

13 Housing subsidies: Art. 15a agreement on common quality standards in new construction and rehabilitation funding concluded between the federal government and the Länder in December 2004 Contribution to the achievement of common climate protection goals through measures that go beyond the minimum standards of building regulations

14 Housing subsidies: Art. 15a agreement 1. Incentive systems for further improvement of thermal insulation in new buildings and renovations Use of ecologically compatible building materials Use of low-CO 2 or -free domestic engineering systems 2. Increase the subsidy volume for residential building renovation

15 Housing subsidies: Art. 15a agreement Funding models for house renovation in future in all federal states Entire building envelope Graded funding rates after energy saving Additional measures for building services Use of ecological building materials

16 Example THEWOSAN funding in Vienna non-refundable contributions between 30, - and 75, - per m² WNF, dep. from the energetic improvement or achieved standard max. one third of the investment costs additional 20, - per m² of WNF when using efficient and environmentally friendly systems or renewable energy sources

17 Wohnmodern - Building quality and climate protection Energy savings and CO 2 reduction through comprehensive modernization Increase in renovation rates Improvement in renovation quality Bring existing buildings up to date

18 the klima: aktiv program Wohnmodern client: Lebensministerium program management: Österreichische Energieagentur duration: Target groups Wohnbauträger and Hausverwaltungen, priv. Building owners tenants and flat owners

19 Wohnmodern: Learning from the best Numerous good examples and practical experience available Pilot projects and research results (eg House of the Future, BMVIT) o: Österreichisches Siedlungswerk wohnmodern supports know-how transfer for broad implementation

20 Wohnmodern Cooperation partners (as of October 05) Associations of Housing and Real Estate Industry gbv Austrian Association of Non-Profit Construction Associations ÖVI Austrian Association of Real Estate Trustees Provinces Salzburg: Dept. Housing Promotion Styria: Dept. Housing Promotion Vienna: wohnfonds_wien in preparation: Cooperation with Land Vorarlberg ua Medien Fachmagazin wohnen plus Wirtschaft Erste Bank / Sbausparkasse

21 Wohnmodern Main topics Implementation Energy certificate Management of modernization projects Resident involvement Rehabilitation in residential property Use of renewable energy sources Contracting and warranty models Building ecology Renovation and preservation of historical monuments

24 Wohnmodern Cooperation with Styria Advisory packages for the modernization of large-volume residential buildings for property developers and property management companies Thermography and consultancy project to start in autumn 2005 GEA Grazer Energieagentur Oststeiermark Modernization Initiative AEE-INTEC Renewable Energy Consortium

25 Ecological modernization good reasons many tried and tested good examples in the future more market transparency attractive subsidies concrete support for implementation Advice for building owners and property managers: climate: active, national programs, regional initiatives
