So far, progress in this area has been slow. To date, less than one percent of the residential building stock in Germany is retrofitted each year. The existing support programs alone offer too little reliability for the necessary...

Im Rahmen des Vorgängerprojekts “Sozial-Raumwissenschaftliche Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (SoRa)" wurde eine technische und organisatorische Infrastruktur entwickelt, welche die prototypische Verbindung ...
