Austria

What is recommended in the way of building preparation (methods 1, 2, 3)?

For methods 1 and 2, the Austrian national annex to ISO 9972 page 6, Item 6.3, Table 1, applies. For method 3, there are no references in the national annex. In this case, ISO 9972 applies.

If method 3 is selected, is a checklist drawn up? Of interest is the issue of fixtures incorporated into the building envelope, like letterboxes, window rebate ventilation, WC fans and fire dampers.

There is no checklist for method 3.

The process of implementation of the EPBD in Austria is now carried out for several years. Thecalculation scheme for asset rating is finished, the operational rating procedure is still being discussed.One of the major problems in Austria is the fact that most building laws are under the responsibility ofthe nine Austrian provinces. Therefore all political decisions like baseline and limits of the energydemand for the building codes are difficult to achieve. These values are therefore still underdiscussion.
