The journal “Wohnen Plus” is a supplement of the Austrian daily newspaper Der Standard. Issue No. 4/2009 focuses on the topic of sustainable building and includes an article on the solar housing community Plabutsch in Graz-Eggenberg to mark its 10th anniversary. The solar housing community Plabutsch benefits from being situated on a mountain slope. The energy concept for the multi-storey housing complex is based on the use of solar and geothermal energy, for which the mountain massif serves as storage mass. Considered an exemplar for energy optimized construction, the building was handed over to the residents in 1998.
