4.9. “klima:aktiv haus” - Austria<br />

“klima:aktiv haus” is the Austrian climate protection initiative launched by the “Federal<br />

Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment <strong>and</strong> Water Management”, embedded in the<br />

Austrian federal climate strategy. The primary objective of “klima:aktiv haus” is to introduce<br />

<strong>and</strong> promote climate friendly technologies <strong>and</strong> services. This assessment method is a selfdeclaration<br />

system (not a third-party-certification). The <strong>criteria</strong> aim primarily at a reduction of<br />

the total energy consumption <strong>and</strong> CO 2 emissions of <strong>buildings</strong> both <strong>for</strong> operation <strong>and</strong><br />

construction as well as at environmentally compatible construction methods <strong>and</strong> <strong>health</strong>y<br />

The assessment is carried out on the basis of a 1000-credits scheme <strong>and</strong> comprises the<br />

following main categories:<br />

• Design Quality <strong>and</strong> Quality Assurance during Construction<br />

a maximum of 120 credits is achievable <strong>for</strong><br />

accessibility of amenities <strong>and</strong> public transport, barrier-free <strong>buildings</strong>, avoidance of<br />

thermal bridges, air tightness<br />

• Energy<br />

a maximum of 600 credits is achievable <strong>for</strong><br />

low energy dem<strong>and</strong>, passive house st<strong>and</strong>ard, utilization of renewable energies<br />

• Building Materials<br />

a maximum of 160 credits is achievable <strong>for</strong><br />

avoidance of critical building materials, use of ecologically optimized products<br />
