1 The transformation of the existing building stock: A precondition for a sustainable future COST Meeting, March , Vienna Dr. Peter Richner Head of Department Civil and Mechanical Engineering

2 Final Energy Use CH 2010 Other End User Costs: CHF 30.5 Billions Remaining electrictiy Nuclear Power Fossil Fuels Schweizerische Energiestatistik 2010, BfE

3 Challenges of the Future I Other Remaining electricity Nuclear phaseout 2019 (2013?) Fossil Fuels

4 Challenges of the Future II Other Reduction of the emission of green house gases Nuclear phaseout 2019 (2013?) Remaining electricity Fossil Fuels Reduction of the dependence on foreign countries regarding energy supply

5 Analyse des schweizerischen Energieverbrauchs nach Verwendungszweck, 2010, BfE Final Energy Use CH 2009 Industry, Services, Agriculture: 24% Mobility: 29% Buildings: 47%

6 Energy Demand of Residential Buildings in Switzerland as Function of the Year of Construction New Buildings kwh/m²a Mill. m 2

7 Energy Demand of Residential Buildings in Switzerland as Function of the Year of Construction New Buildings Mio Buildings kwh/m²a Mill. m 2

8 Energy Demand of Residential Buildings in Switzerland as Function of the Year of Construction New Buildings 50 Goal of Sustainable Retrofitting kwh/m²a Mill. m 2

9 From Materials: Aerogel Plaster Lower thermal conductivity than conventional insulation materials: 25 mw/m*k Application by standard methods Purely mineralic material Open for water vapour difusion CTI About 85% nanoporous aerogel granulate is used as additive for the light weight plaster
