2.1 Management of existing building stock

WieNeu+ focuses on improving and upgrading the existing built fabric of the neighbourhood, using a range of different instruments to initiate roll-out projects.

The accumulative processes of transformation in our programme areas call for far-sighted management of the existing building stock based on a strategic combination of refurbishment, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and property owner engagement.

The decisive element here is systematic analysis of the built fabric, energy supply and ownership structures, to allow targeted identification and utilisation of potentials for refurbishment and climate-proofing measures.

The emphasis is on activating property owners to implement energy retrofitting and climate adaptation projects in their buildings.

Numerous research projects also use properties within the programme area as living labs to develop and pilot new and innovative solutions.
