9 ADDITIONAL VALUE of PH-STANDARD for Housing Estates Pros: Living Comfort, Energy Efficiency, Climate Protection, Energy Costs with justifyable Additional Costs for Construction of ~ 4-6 %. PH-Standard for new buildings is worth striving for otherwise new buildings could cause higher Life-Cycle-Costs due to rising energy prices and necessary remediations: mould, thermal retrofit, Most important contribution of new PH Buildings: Learnings for thernal retrofit towards PH-Standard.

10 Contributions of the Sustainability Monitoring Energy Monitoring causes Quality Assurance and Increase of Energy Efficiency Social Science Analysis (POE) causes Synergien und deliver additional knowledge for developer, planner, energy supplier and subsidising administration. Monitoring for all subsidized buildings is recommended. Energy-Aware-Culture: Quality of Buildings is not visible. Make it more transparent by public notice. Fernwärme , CESB 2010, Ass.
