Similarities in thermal building standards
• Both Austrian and Czech Energy thermal-technical requirements for new as well as renovated buildings are being very similar due to the gradual harmonisation of technical standards according to the EU’s CEN standardization.
• Therefore new buildings are far better energy parameters than old ones
Differences in thermal building standards
• Old buildings are generally in a better condition in Austria than in the Czech Republic (CR) with a long history of panelled flats.
• low quality of materials and construction works carried out and• long-time neglected maintenance
• Building standards are on national level in Czech Republic and provincial level in Austria (harmonization is in progress)

EPBD (European Performance of Buildings Directive of the
European Commission, in force: probably Jan. 2008?)
• Austria has a harmonized calculation scheme for all provinces. • This has been extended in 2004 by the energy efficiency of a heat
source and a heating system. It will meet the full EPBD in the end of 2007.
• No work according the EPBD has been carried out in the Czech Republic so far.

A5 The Austrian government programme 2007 - 2010
Measures of the Austrian government programme concerning buildings
● National programme for energy efficiency
●Enhancement of the energy intensity by at least 5 % until 2010(at least 20 % until 2020)
● Energy check for all Austrian households until 2010
●Increase of the renovation rate in the building sector, the objective is the thermal renovation of all buildings of the postwar period (1950-1980) until 2020
●In the new building sector the government enforces the low energy and passive house standard together with the federal states
● A "Klima:aktiv standard"1) is aspired for 50 % of all new buildings
●From 2015 on subsidies for new buildings shall only be granted for buildings that fulfil the
“Klima:aktiv passive house standard”1)
● Development and use of energy efficient devices and solutions (stand-by)
●Extension of combined heat and power plants as an efficient method for producing electricity and heat

Retrofit ScenariosIdeas for renovations
1. Comfort & Cash
The idea of this measure is to install an image-campaign to increase comfort of living and decrease CO2-emissions. This aim should be realised by following actions:
- raising of the rate of thermal retrofitting- replacement of existing buildings which cannot be renovated
usefully- raising of the renovation rate of systems for building services- increased use of renewable energy sources

Retrofit ScenariosIdeas for renovations
4. Business & Buildings
Experiences of Austrian real estate companies (BIG, LIG) show that thermal renovations can be done in combination with long-lasting contracting-agreements.
The duration of those contracts is at maximum ten years which implies problems:
- Such a short duration provides a return of investment for renovation of the
systems for building services but not for a heat insulation of the building.
- Longer runtimes are not practicable due to the fact that no private firms are able to
provide durations for more than ten years.
