Blickpunkt Forschung: Energie Department für Raumplanung Energy-efficient Behaviour by Demand! The energy-efficient behaviour of ci- tizens is analyzed worldwide in recent studies focusing on the various aspects of energy consumption. Research re- veals a multitude of factors that influ- ence user’s behaviour to consume or to conserve energy. However, there is still a lack of understanding the role of ener- gy consumption styles. Within outputs of scientific works there is still a cont- rast of interpretation about which fac- tors influence user behaviour most and with what intensity (e.g. stated/revea- led preferences, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation etc.). In the context of EWARD the dissertation is expected to collect and generate new knowledge focusing on energy-efficient behaviour with a concentration on energy consumption styles and their motives. The method used in the framework of the empirical research part refers to the means-end value chain analysis by Gutman (1982). The dissertation applies the mentioned analysis on the social typologies defined as the Sinus Milieus in Austria (see figure). A better understanding of the issues mentioned above, their complex interactions and impacts will support the development of innovative energy services. Furthermore the research results will aid the involved parts from spatial planners to political decision makers through the solid groundwork for the design and implementation of future urban developments. Exploring energy-efficient Behaviour Motives by analyzing related social Typologies Diana Silvestru (RAUM ISRA) Visioneering the low-carbon Futures, The Case Of The Northern Dolomites Arena The wide range of thinking about the low-carbon future has been explored since years ago producing national roadmaps or policy recommendations. Despite that has never been men- tioned the setting of the spaces where we will live our everyday life. Nevertheless decar- bonizing the built environment need to be conscious of the local contexts under which are operating. The spatial setting of the Northern Dolomities, between Italy and Austria, requi- res a special attention due the amount of natural resources and the pattern of settlements. How will possible Low-Carbon futures look like in the Northern Dolomities area? Which are the variables that motivate a community to go towards these futures? During the empirical research the visioneering approach is applied. Three energy visions for this area are developed, later are discussed and adjusted with locals and stakeholders. The evaluation methodology of the research process is divided in two branches: measuring to which extend the visioneering approach can help in mobilize a public discussion; illustrating possible low-carbon strategies. Chiara Andreotta (RAUM REGION) Lock-in and the Challenge of energy-effi- cient thermal-energetic Building Moder- nization Carbon lock-in can be described as structural barriers in techno- logical transition processes that prevent new or sustainable tech- nologies to diffuse and compete on markets. The existence of al- ready mature technologies/mea- sures induces the need for new strategies to overcome barriers. However, these transformation processes are linked with high switching costs. So this thesis tries to identify barriers of lock- in that come up in the retrofitting process. Barriers can be technological, financial, behavioural or institutional constraints. One known example is the rebound effect that causes increased energy consumption due to lower heating demands. The reduction of energy consumption in the space heating sector is technologically possible and a political key to reach climate and energy goals. The goal of this study is to find a strategy towards more sustainability in the building stock by proposing an energy-efficient promotion scheme for refurbishment actions to overcome barriers. To measure the influence of different barriers on refurbishment invest- ment decisions, an economic cost-effectiveness model is set up. A qualitative and quantitative evaluation of experience in retrofitting building is done by expert interviews and a household survey and should deliver the empirical data basis for identifying barriers. First pre-calcula- tions show that inefficient heating or an increased subsidy rates can have a significant influ- ence on the cost-effectiveness. Michael Böhm (RAUM IFIP) Urban Climate Modeling In my work I am assessing and evaluating the scope and implications of uncertainties and errors in the application of regional scale numerical climate modeling tools as a source of boundary conditions for urban and archi- tectural design decision making. Methods for accurately modeling the urban microclimate are important for testing and developing ur- ban heat island mitigation strategies. At the scale of the city, computational experiments are the most practical and cost effective way to test potential initiatives such as green roofs and urban greening. The results from such a model would provide valuable quanti- tative information to support decision makers faced with urban design decisions. Additionally, an accurate urban climate model could also improve the quality of the boundary conditions used in building performance simulations and urban energy models. Moreover, it would allow for studying energy use in the urban environment under future climate scenarios. Instead of relying on historical weather measurement data, designers and decision makers could use these projections to help create resilient, future-proof projects. Kris Hammerberg (ARCH BAU) Energy-efficient Smart Cities Based on the socio-technical un- derstanding of Smart City, a mul- ti-level perspective is adopted in analyzing the dynamic process of Smart City transition. After revie- wing definitions of Smart City in se- veral perspectives, it is argued that technical innovation is not enough for resource/energy efficient urban development. There are several important factors that have influence on the process of re- source/energy efficient, including social innovation as a key dimension. The theoretical dis- cussion of urban development as socio-technical system reveals that Smart City needs urban innovations with place based learning process, rather than a technology driven process, to approach challenges in urban development. A model framework was presented with the mutual relations between structures, technology, and behaviour in Smart City. It integrates technical innovations and social innovations in a mutual learning process to make the way to achieve Smart City more efficient. As a result, it could be applied to relevant planning approach, for example the strategic spatial planning, for better steering energy efficient urban development and climate protection. Hui Lu (RAUM SRF) Wind Power Deployment in urbani- sed Regions: towards a comprehensi- ve Approach for Renewable Energy and Spatial Planning As a result of international Energy and Climate policies, regions in Europe are increasingly con- fronted with large-scale wind power develop- ment. Hereby, regional planning has a decisive role: it should ensure wind power technologies on `suitable´ locations while enabling a good pace of implementation. With these diverging purposes in mind, this PhD research studies the effectiveness of current regional planning approaches for wind power according to three dimensions of concerns: economic (installed capacity growth), social (safety and well-being) and environmental (landscape and wildlife im- pacts). Firstly, conclusions are drawn from an Pia Nabielek (RAUM REGION) institutional analysis of three European regions that have similarities concerning land-use patterns and wind energy potential but contrasting approaches to assign areas for wind po- wer: concentrated wind farms on urban hinterland (Austria: Vienna region), in-fill strategies on built-up areas (Netherlands: Rotterdam-The Hague region) and combined development with road infrastructure (Belgium: Ghent Region). Based on the results of this analysis, gui- delines will be formulated for comprehensive and effective planning strategies. In a second step, the general applicability of those guidelines will be re-evaluated on a forth example region (Austria: Linz-Wels region). Betriebs- und volkswirtschaftliche Rentabili- tät einer umfassenden Sanierungsstrategie in Österreich Ziel dieses Projektes ist es unterschiedliche thermisch-energetische Sanierungsstandards auf betriebs- und volkswirtschaftlicher Ebene einer Rentabilitätsrechnung zu unterziehen und ihre Performance hin- sichtlich der Erreichung der Klima- und Energieziele näher zu analysieren. Dabei stehen folgende Kern- fragen im Vordergrund: • Ist die Sanierung von Wohngebäuden des Altbestandes für private Akteure bzw. den Staat insgesamt rentabel? • Welche Barrieren treten im Rahmen einer Sanierung auf und welchen Einfluss haben Barrieren wie beispielsweise Rebound-Effekte auf die Rentabilität? • Wie wirken unterschiedliche staatliche Förderinstrumente auf die Bereitschaft in eine Sanierung zu investieren? • Welche Einsparungen können mit unterschiedlichen Sanierungsszenarien erreicht werden, welchen Vorteil haben diese für den Staat? • Wie sieht eine optimale Sanierungsstrategie/Sanierungsrate zur Erreichung der Klima- und Energie- ziele aus? Im Weiteren werden die Wertschöpfungs- und Beschäftigungseffekte (Multiplikatoreffekte) einer brei- ten Sanierungsstrategie analysiert bzw. eine von der GDI 1994 bereits durchgeführte Analyse einzelner Gebäudetypen hinsichtlich ihrer Rentabilität aktualisiert. Grundlage für die Szenarienrechnung bildet ein ökonomisches Rechenmodell, welches mit real beobachteten Daten gefüttert wird.
