Abstract
This thesis deals with a critical analysis of energy-efficient building, particularly of single-family homes in passive house standard, and with the development of intervention strategies to influence decision making. Besides the presentation on energy-efficient building, which focuses especially on low energy buildings and passive houses, this thesis scrutinizes the obstacles in building a passive house, both theoretically and empirically. Moreover, theories of environmentally suitable consumer behavior, such as different types of lifestyles, and ways of influencing decision-making behavior are discussed. In this context eco-marketing was analyzed carefully. The aim of this thesis was the development of specific strategies to influence decision-making in favor of passive houses. These strategies were based on eco-marketing, in particular on communication policy, and the buyer typologies of Kirchgeorg/Greven, in order to enable a segment-specific approach.
