The ClimateHouse energy efficiency certification promotes the adoption of building construction methods that meet energy saving and environment protection criteria. The category of energy saving, determines if a building is classified as a ClimateHouse. The ClimateHouse categories provide an instant estimate of a building’s energy consumption. There are three classes: * Gold - heating energy requirement under 10 kWh/m²a (so called 1-litre-construction) * A - heating energy requirement under 30 kWh/m²a (so called 3-litre-construction) * B -heating energy requirement under 50 kWh/m²a (so called 5-litre-construction) To qualify for ClimateHouse Plus certification, a building must fulfil the following criteria: *Heating energy consumption requirement under 50 kWh/m²a. *Heating fuelled by renewable energy sources, use of environmentally friendly, non-health-damaging building materials. *Inclusion of at least one of the following measures: A photovoltaic system, solar panels for water heating and/or integrated with heating system, rainwater usage, green roof. ==History== February 2002 First presentation of KlimaHaus at a conference in Bolzano, Italy.
