Climate-conscious building culture
South Tyrol's architecture is as diverse as the history of our country. How historical building culture and climate protection can be sustainably combined.
Magnificent castles and palaces, stately residences and traditional mountain farms, which were built a long time ago with the special features of the Alpine environment in mind: We have always built in harmony with the landscape and nature — using pollutant-free and regional building materials such as stone, sand or wood from local forests, which is used in traditional solid timber houses, for example.
All of these historic buildings, some of which are listed, need to be preserved and combined with the requirements of sustainable and climate-friendly construction. For example, through state subsidies that support the energy-efficient refurbishment of historic buildings or through expert craftsmen and researchers who develop customised solutions for energy-efficient refurbishment.
