27. International Passive House Conference 2024
Topic Speaker Summary
1Energy efficient retrofits – NOW!Wolfgang Feist; Jürgen Schnieders; Jan Steiger, Passive House Institute Low operating energy consumption of the existing building stock is crucial for climate protection. It also facilitates renewable energy supply. The energy expenditure for production is usually less significant. Many examples demonstrate how exemplary building renovations can be implemented in practice.
2EnerPHit for a climate-resilient St. Johann (EnerPHit-for-2040)Rainer Pfluger, University of Innsbruck A roadmap to climate neutrality by 2040 was developed for the market town of St. Johann with districtPH. In addition, municipal energy monitoring and the potential offered by EnerPHit building refurbishment, PV expansion and efficiency improvements are presented using the example of the local indoor swimming pool.
3Serial refurbishment to PH standardTanja Schulz If the building envelope is ambitiously renovated and the qualities in terms of airtightness, thermal bridges and ventilation with heat recovery are right, then well-coordinated HP systems can be used almost anywhere. In detail, all components must be sensibly matched to each other: the heating and cooling capacity of the building must be carefully determined and then the heat output of the heat pump must match the application and the respective building.
4EnerPHit+ implementation in multi-family houses worth preserving – SüdSan research projectMartin Ploß In the SüdSan project, 2 apartment blocks from the 1940s and 1950s were refurbished with passive house components. The larger building achieves the EnerPhit+ standard and the additional costs for the high-quality energy design are relatively low, while the general refurbishment costs are very high.
5Thermal component activation as retrofitted heat transfer systems in building renovationsTobias Hatt Two pilot buildings worthy of preservation were refurbished to EnerPHit Plus in the SüdSan research project. One building with subsequent activation of the existing wall, the other with low-temperature radiators, as there was previously no heat dissipation system. The differences are shown in simulations.
6Sustainable building and renovation Benjamin Krick,Johannes Seibert Sustainable buildings require decarbonisation (stopping the burning of carbon), the efficiency revolution and the use of renewable energy. Carbon sequestration and the circular economy can also help. We illustrate this with a parameter study.
7EnerPHit retrofit of a Gründerzeit building in 1150 Vienna, Kauergasse 2Helmut SchöberlEnerPHit refurbishments are an important basis for overcoming the problems of climate change and the best preparation for the future challenges of existing buildings. The three flagship EnerPHit refurbishments of Wilhelminian-style buildings in Austria are presented.
8Passive House in the existing building stockGerhard KopeinigThe presentation highlights the wonderful opportunity presented by state-of-the-art modernisations of the existing building stock and underlines that existing buildings with an optimised thermal envelope and the efficient building services concept of the Passive House standard represent the future for all building categories in use, all construction ages, and all regions. This is shown using specific examples of EnerPHit refurbishments of buildings protected as historic monuments (Velden Music School, Mondsee Town Hall and Semriach School), the EnerPHit Plus refurbishment of a residential complex in Bolzano as well as the retrofit of a detached house in Felden am Wörthersee.
9OeAD GUEST HOUSE – Karmelitergasse 9, InnsbruckGünther JedlickaIn 2005, OeAD student housing built the world's first student residence in Vienna to the Passive House standard. After 19 years, the client is still highly satisfied, as are the roughly 20,000 students who already lived here. Since then, a further 13 Passive House halls of residence have been built, 8 of which are presented here. The latest Passive House hall of residence is due to open in the centre of Innsbruck in 2025. In this video, the architect Betina Hanel presents this guest house project with 173 beds in 159 rooms in detail.
10Recovery of warm water, electricity, nutrients, and water from on-site waste water recyclingErnst Schriefl, Helmut SchöberlThe aim is to utilise the energy content of wastewater where it is highest, i.e. directly at the building. A sustainable wastewater system of this kind, customised to the specific needs on site, enables not only heat recovery but also the recovery of useful water, electricity and nutrients
