Abstract

“+ERS – Plus Energy Network Reininghaus Süd” is an integrative part of the Building of Tomorrow researchflagship project “Energy City Graz-Reininghaus (ECR), which is an important part of the greater urbandevelopment framework of the City of Graz. The +ERS research project is carried out by AEE – Institutefor Sustainable Technologies (AEE INTEC) (scientific project management), “Aktiv Klimahaus Süd GmbH”(real estate developer), Nussmüller Architekten ZT GmbH, and the Institute of Urbanism (Graz Universityof Technology). A combination of energy efficiency measures, energy production on site and energyexchange between the buildings will establish a plus energy housing estate. This paper highlights themain technical measures and strategies required to achieve plus energy standard for the housing districtand discusses problems and hurdles of its actual realization.
