ZERsiedelt

This project aims to generate new data and know-how about grey energy for housing and settlement-structures including infrastructure like roads and services (water, electricity, sewage etc.). Selection of representative constructions and building periods will allow for projection to Austria as a whole and data will be provided by a tailor-made Excel-Tool in order to be used for discussion of spatial planning and building options. The analysis of public support measures will lead to recommendations for an ecological orientation of these measures. Furthermore future scenarios, particularly for Single-family-settlements, in the context of a possible energy-crisis (Peak Oil, sudden rise in energy-prices) will be discussed. The project aims to generate new know-how in the field of Housing and Settlement-Structures in Austria with the objective to introduce this knowledge into Austrian Policy of energy and climate.
