It is not yet mandatory to implement either the Passive House standard or Energy Plus standard for commercial buildings. Often, the additional costs associated with these standards coupled with the lack of understanding from tenants for higher rents halts these
developments. In the present project, an Energy Plus office building was scientifically conceived by an experienced project team to meet current market conditions. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the building standards, and
to implement and repeat the results in future construction developments. This project has great relevance for Austria to increase its technological advancement and leadership in
sustainable design.
