This is the publication Dr. Lari produced to present his project “Solar Housing Development Plabutsch”. This housing development project was realized in the years between September 1997 and March 1999. It was the result of a scientific research project Dr. Lari created, which represented a milestone in terms of green buildings and ecological construction. The construction company “neue Heimat” funded the realization of the project, because it represents a huge step in terms of energy optimizing in construction. Today still, it is a benchmark project, which is used as example when evaluating other projects of the sort and was the beginning to setting new standards in terms of green buildings. The solar housing project and the information in this publication has been cited and reference has been made to it numerous times by scientists, other architects, construction companies, but also governmental organizations.
The solar housing development Plabutsch, was built between the years of ’97 to ’99. The concept that makes this apartment complex as economical as it is in terms of heating energy needs is described in this information booklet and consists of technological elements, elements of planning as well as architectural and elements in terms of construction. The conditions of the building lot were utilized in a way that allows for optimum use of the sun’s radiation and the situation of the building on the hill was used to allow for most efficient as possible use of the preconditions present. The information booklet is in both, English and German.
