Energy conservation, enhancement of energy efficiency (significant reduction in all areas required)

Buildings:

  • Thermal rehabilitation of existing buildings (insulating, insulating)
  • New buildings exclusively according to the best thermal standards and without air conditioning

Mobility: (can be shaped by the Lower Austrian Government only to a limited extent)

  • Energy conserving spatial planning
  • Increase attractiveness of public transportdes against individual motorised transport
  • Use individual transport less, use smaller cars, drive more slowly

Production: (can be influenced by the Lower Austrian Government only in a very limited way)

  • Main driver for the industry is the emissions trading

– „Energy Saving“ and growth are compatible – Energy Efficiency (consulting- and funding programmes) – Assumption: 0,9 % growth for energy services p.a.
