Austria's path to climate neutrality: buildings of the future in view!
Spittelauer Lände 45, 1090 Wien, Österreich - Austria pursues ambitious goals to achieve climate neutrality by 2040. In order to achieve this goal, various measures for energy and mobility turnover have already been implemented. An essential aspect of the implementation is the recording and evaluation of relevant data in order to be able to make well -founded decisions. For this purpose, three crucial studies were completed in the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure, which are summarized in Austrian building reports. This offers a comprehensive overview of the building stock, the new apartment building and the quality of both existing and newly built properties.
The data presented provide a clear insight into the current situation of the energy and construction transition in Austria and should serve as the basis for future political decisions. Innovation and infrastructure Minister Peter Hanke will present the results on June 12, 2025 in the Climate Lab in Vienna. Media representatives are invited to participate in the press conference, but have to register beforehand.
As part of the building report, developments in the area of building certification are also discussed. Currently, 46 percent of all classified climate active buildings have reached the gold standard. This refers to a building area of over 2.5 million square meters, with a total of 724 buildings received the award. This positive tendency is due to the intensive funding and the binding guidelines of the federal and state governments that use the quality criteria of climate-active. Initiative is also closely connected to the housing subsidies in various federal states. Due to the increasing acceptance of climate -active as a reference framework in the real estate industry, this standard is also increasingly the basis for sustainable financial products that are awarded the environment 49. Another important context on the topic is the changes to the EU building directive, which in particular aims to redesign energy efficiency in the building stock. This guideline came into force on May 28, 2024 and presents the member states with the challenge of implementing corresponding national regulations within two years. One of the four central cornerstones is the renovation of the building stock with a clear focus on the exit from fossil heating systems. Member States are encouraged to determine minimum energy efficiency standards and create national renovation plans in order to implement zero-emission buildings by 2050. also reports Klimaactive that comprehensive renovations that reduce primary energy consumption by at least 60 percent are considered significantly. goal is to build new public buildings from 2028 and all new buildings from 2030 according to a zero emission standard, whereby the member states have to develop the corresponding standards through cost optimality calculations. The focus is on the promotion of renewable energies and the improvement of energy efficiency within these new framework conditions. Current trends in building construction
