Feasible business models to locally utilize locally generated renewable energy are expected to induce a tipping point for the Energy Turnaround in Austria. If it is possible to develop models to sell on-site generated electricity directly to tenants, lessees and shared owners, such models would be a viable business not dependant on subsidized feed-in tariffs. Former projects (such as Reininghausgründe, Aspern, Kapfenberg) were not yet able to achieve this. Within the project a number of demonstration PV plants on residential and non-residential buildings will be realized. On this basis new approaches of business cases are developed, implemented, tested and finally disseminated.

The study targeted at the statistical assessment of housing vacancy in the Austrian province of Vorarlberg. One challenge was the identification of that part of vacancy, which could be activated with according policy action. In a second part of the study, motivation of owners, who would not rent out their vacant dwellings, was assessed.
