Martin Treberspurg | Passive House residential complex in Vienna’s Kaisermühlenstraße
A Passive House can be an optimal solution for building sites subject to high noise pollution by taking advantage of thermal and acoustical buffer zones in the form of access ways and the use of a semi-central ventilation for the residential units.

Michael Müller | Passive House dormitory
Passive House buildings can meet all of the requirements of sustainable construction. The project presented in this paper can even react to changes in tenant populations with different floor plans ranging from shared student apartments to standard apartments in accordance with the Residential Funding Program.

Peter Tappler | Indoor air quality in energy efficient residential new builds
A study investigated and assessed air quality in mechanically and naturally ventilated residential buildings in order to determine the extent to which concentrations of individual indoor air components and perceived well-being differ among differently ventilated buildings.

Jürgen Schnieders | Experience with a drain water heat recovery
Data were recorded for a heat recovery system for shower water installed in a single-family home. The annual utilization rate is 23 percent, making the system financially interesting depending on individual situations. The paper also includes a brief theoretical analysis and planning recommendations.

Erwin Nolde | Grey water recycling and heat recovery – a steppingstone from
Distributed heat recovery is important for low-energy buildings because it provides a large share of the heat needed for hot water provision year round. In combination with gray water recycling, the savings in water can provide significant economic benefits.
