    Abstract

    After the introduction the topic climate protection is discussed. There is a special emphasis on the importance of climate protection. It is showed, how the greenhouse effect is caused and what consequences it has. For an effective protection of climate not only a decrease of emission is necessary but also the resources side needs to be taken into consideration, because through lavishness and predacious reduction of ressources, emission is caused as well. A description of the climate protection organization ‘climate confederation of Austria’ will follow. Furthermore, it is illustrated if and what sort of contribution the restoration of old buildings accomplishes. Chapter 3 is mainly based on the restoration of old buildings. The historic development, potentials and aims of the restoration of old buildings are discribed. Moreover, the approach of the restoration of old buildings as a guideline for restructing specialists is described. Material and financial resources are also illustrated in detail. In conclusion of this chapter the advantages and disadvantages of restoration of old buildings are listed. In the next chapter there is a description of passive houses with all the criteria and components. The whole energy consumption can not be generated by the house itself, so there has to be or should be a rest energy demand through conventional energy sources. At the end of this chapter the advantages and disadvantages of passive houses are discussed and are contemplated in a SWOT – analyse. Financial expenses can be recovered via government aid for residential building (Chap. 5). Additionally, there is a description of the energy pass which is necessary for the restoration. This diploma thesis should not only base on theory, that is the reason why a few practical examples are presented in chapter 6. A detached house, a multifamily residence and a company building are concerned here. The results of the interviews with experts are shown in chapter 7.
