Climate Protection Tips
The preservation of historic buildings is a significant initiative in Austria for climate protection. Why?
Heritage protection helps save resources. Existing structures are maintained, which means new construction projects do not need to be realized in green spaces.
Heritage protection plays an important socio-cultural role by contributing to the preservation of historical buildings. This can strengthen regional identity and enrich the cultural offerings.
Many historical buildings were originally constructed from natural materials, often sourced locally. Restoration efforts aim to use these materials to maintain the buildings' authenticity.
The habitats of various plant and animal species can also be protected.
