Climate communities
Transdisciplinary development of climate-friendly model solutions for decarbonizing existing buildings in small and medium-sized municipalities. The application of the sample solutions can be easily identified using a web tool.
On the road to climate-neutral cities, there is a lack of concrete, climate-friendly refurbishment solutions that are widely applicable. Small and medium-sized municipalities in particular play a key role here: 60% of the Austrian population lives in municipalities with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. Small municipalities have flatter decision-making structures and a more bundled distribution of competencies, and yet they must be able to implement innovative concepts for decarbonization in existing buildings.
