9.5.6 Planning and Development of Public Utility Buildings
Being a “model” in its own sphere of competence allows the City of Vienna to infl uence commercial developers and participants in competitions. This applies to all
Viennese kindergartens, schools and campuses (Vienna Model where different
school levels, from kindergarten to secondary schools, share the same building), as
well as administrative buildings and other city-owned buildings. The “Space Book”
(Municipal Department 34 – Building and Facility Management) and the “Criteria
for Energy-conscious Building for Service Buildings in Vienna” (Municipal
Department 20 – Energy Planning) defi ne quality standards for the purpose. These
guidelines contain a number of UHI-relevant aspects and measures, such as effective sun protection, reducing the externally induced cooling energy provided for in
the building code or avoiding large glass constructions to prevent overheating.
9.5.7 Subsidising Measures
Subsidies are a way of infl uencing private persons and institutions. Municipal
Department 42 (Parks and Gardens) has been subsidising roof greening, courtyard
and vertical greening successfully since 2003. Subsidies for roof greening are calculated on the basis of the thickness of the rooting substrate. The example shows
how subsidies can promote quality-assuring aspects and measures for the reduction
of UHI.
