At the end of August, Felix Ekardt and Michael Kerbler discussed the financial crisis and climate change. The discussion was boradcast by the Austrian Radio Ö 1.
More energy efficiency and an extended usage of renewable energies in the area of space heating are a central concern of an effective climate policy. However, the chief potentials of existing buildings are hitherto inadequately exploited. The insofar existing dilemma of investor and user is neither solved nor completely understood. Likewise, the question of how climate protection in the field of housing can be formulated in a socially balanced way is posed. Some problems can be equally well approached in an ecologically and socially meaningful way. The great breakthrough in the refurbishment of old buildings is likely to depend on administrative (regulatory) provisions or on a further (also politically induced) rise of energy prices. At the same time, some problems resulting from a mix of legal climate protection instruments become apparent in this and other contexts.
