Positive energy renovationof the heritage-listed Otto Wagner Area
A detailed feasibility study conducted by a project consortium, consisting of the Central European University (CEU), TU Wien – Institute of Architecture and Design, LANG consulting, the OeAD-Wohnraumverwaltungs-GmbH, and Schöberl & Pöll GmbH (project management), investigated whether it is possible to renovate the entire Otto Wagner area at positive energy stan-dards, while complying with the strict preservation order, and so to meet its future annual energy needs using locally sourced renewable energy.

Passive House is not just for houses
In North America, if people know about Passivhaus or Passive House at all, they think it is all about houses. In Europe, where they have been around longer, there are all kinds of buildings that are built to the Passivhaus standard of extreme energy efficiency, from single family houses to apartment buildings to offices and even prisons.
