Introduction

 The building sector offers an enormous potential

to reduce the energy consumption

 Case study on passive houses in Austria

Dissemination of PH: A success story

Socio-technical change in the building sector

Focus on the role of intermediation

 Policy relevant question: How to support and

facilitate socio-technical change towards more energy efficiency?

Intermediation

 Intermediation means to connect, translate and

facilitate flows of knowledge

 Intermediary actors: work in-between, make

connections, enable relationships etc.

 Intermediation plays an important role in

processes aiming at the transition of socio- technical systems toward sustainability

Multiplicity of actors

Distributed Innovation

Technology, social practices and institutions

Development of the PH as socio-technical system

 Early set-up phase (1988-1996)

Development of the socio-technical core

First demonstration building in Germany in 1990

Establishment of the Passivhaus Institut in Darmstadt (Germany)

 Regional niche growth (1993-1999)

Transfer of the concept to Austria (Province of Vorarlberg)

Energy Institute Vorarlberg as central change agent (e.g. summer school, training programmes)

First building in 1996, growing number of buildings, learning, practical experiences and feedback

4 overlapping phases

 Outgrowing the niche (1998-2005)

First EU-project on passive houses (CEPHEUS)

National R&D programme ’Building of Tomorrow’

More buildings (pilot-projects), new networks, new intermediary actors

 Institutionalisation and stabilisation (since 2001)

New interest organisations focussing on PH

PH linked to climate change, dissemination programme

Growing influence on subsidy guidelines, building regulations, academic courses, vocational training...

Intermediation in the PH case

 Bottom-up process without central steering, high

demand for intermediation

 Different types of intermediation activities  Intermediation requirements change over time  Intermediary functions taken over by different

types of actors

 Already existing organisations & especially set

up PH intermediaries

 Most of the intermediary activities were publicly

funded

Discussion

 Intermediation (alone) does not explain the

success of the socio-technical system

 Intermediation is relevant as entry point for

public policy

Funding: existing organisations

Finding: intermediation gaps

“Public governance through intermediation”

 What else?

What is a Passive House?

 Passive House: a building that meets a specific

energy standard

 Ultra-low energy building: Factor 4 compared to

European building standards

 Construction principles:

Maximizing (passive) solar gains

Minimizing losses: super-insulation, air tightness

Combining efficient heat recovery with supplementing air heating  no conventional heating system
