Together with a consortium of five austrian universites (University of Technology Vienna, University of Economics Vienna, University of Vienna, Danube University Krems, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna) and members of the Austrian Passivhaus Union and the AIT a program was formed that connects the theoretical knowledge and the practical expertise right on site. An overview of green building rating systems, ecological building materials and renewable resources is fundamental to understand buildings over their life-cycle. The integration of renewable energies into building concepts is the key feature of the Passivhaus.
