The Wir inHAUSer housing project, located in Salzburg, Austria, is a comprehensive refurbishment effort focused on sustainability and social responsibility. The project aims to reduce carbon emissions by implementing innovative energy and mobility concepts. The residential complex, built in the 1980s, will be upgraded from 75 to 99 units, ensuring cost-neutrality for residents after the renovation. Key features include: - Energy-efficient design with waste heat pumps and heat recovery from sewage water - Redensification to reduce land consumption - Barrier-free design and improved natural lighting - Innovative mobility solutions, such as car-sharing models and high-quality bike infrastructure - Temporary accommodation for tenants during the renovation period - Collaborative social process involving tenants in planning and decision-making The project is funded through a combination of regional housing subsidies, EU funding, and additional grants for innovative processes. The total cost of renovation is approximately €19 million, with significant subsidies received. The project's focus on sustainability, social inclusivity, and cost-neutrality makes it a model for future urban refurbishment efforts.
