The building standard Climate Protection Superiority House is based on the goals of the 1000 sqm society:

  • the electricity demand of the planetary renovation,
  • the requirements to be able to create a high standard of living with little effort to make the society UBI compatible, that means that a UBI that is absurdly low for today's conditions is already sufficient for a good standard of living.

  Building standard always further improve


Just as there is a EURO 1, EURO 2, EURO 3, EURO 4, EURO 5 and the EURO 6 standard for car exhaust emissions, the building standard climate protection superiority house will be continuously adapted to the technical possibilities. Salzburg has one of the strictest building laws in the world, but everything happens between +48 building permission and +13 highest housing subsidies.

In the fall of 2019, we were already at -262 in the preliminary energy performance certificate, and we will make much more progress with the first sample project.

  Version 2020


In 2020 the planning of the first houses according to the new building standard is in progress. There is no time to elaborately design new standards. The KSÜH Standard 2020 is therefore simply based on the primary energy indicator of the Salzburg building code.

Primary energy indicator < -250 is enough for a KSÜH for 2020. Salzburg Airport is assumed as the location. At present, in the province of Salzburg, a primary energy indicator of < 48 is already sufficient for a building permit and with < 13 the maximum is reached at more housing subsidies. In the next issue, electricity storage, grid feed-in according to demand, minimum requirement for electric car charging, food production and a negative soil sealing factor will be added.



  additional qualification California


For areas with a high risk of forest fires we will create the California qualification. This describes the ability of a house to protect itself against a devastating forest fire.

  additional qualification flood


For areas with a high risk of flooding, we will create the qualification flood. This describes the ability of a house to float easily during high water.

  Status 2023


As soon as the funds from a planned capital increase are available, GEMINI next Generation AG will contract the development of software with which a house can be qualified according to the building standard KlimaSchutzÜberlegenheitsHaus.

Iron-air battery - will decentral summer/winter balancing become standard? Iron-air battery - will decentral summer/winter balancing become standard?
A new big duel is emerging: hydrogen fuel cells, power to methane and combined cycle power plants against the iron-air battery. Where can the iron-air battery save costs?

How a combination of measures drastically reduces the electricity demand of a heat pump: The additional wall heating enables lower flow temperature, higher COP.
