otherforms(e.g.privatepublicpartnership).

Benchmarks:
Longlife will develop standards, criteria and specifications for a sustainable, resource saving
residential building in Baltic Sea Region. Therefore, comparable calculations of regionally realized
EUEnergyDirective(2002/91/EG)withacomparableclimaticfundament,equallydefinedtermsand
unitsandcomparedecologicalmaterialstandardsareneeded.Thefutureguidelineshouldshowthe

toaprototypebuildingwithcomparablerequirementsandregionaldifferences.Inthisresidential
building the rise of renewable energy consumption and the lowering of energy consumption in
generalareadaptedtodevelopsustainablearchitectureandcities.Furthermore,itshoulddefine

replacedbyacommonEuropeanbuildingpermitforminalllanguageswithnationaldifferencesin
priceandtime.
For the design and the construction of the prototype that will be developed to prove the
guideline, the certification system and the EU benchmarks we have to define parameters like
construction costs, target groups, amount of inhabitants per appartment and m per person. A
decision has to be made which kind of ownership should be considered always in relation with
general similarities like the proportion of floor space and living space and distinct regional
differences like rental cost in % of net household, temperature differences and approximate
buildingcostsperm.

Methods

In the work package Analysis and comparison the aim was to develop a comparable base of
international information of the five participating countries and to show the building process in
Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Russia during the entire life cycle of the building, the
similarities and differences in an easy comparison chart according to the three transnational
competenceteams.
For this a questionnaire was jointly developed in the three transnational competence teams

normallyhavefourorfivefloorswithapitchedroofandmoreorlessdecorationintheirfacade.Someofthe
actual urbancharacteristicsof Berlin are the eaves height of 22 m and a lot of gaps between thebuildings
which were caused by the bombings of the Second World War. Typical characteristics of the plan are the
courtyardsandtheBerlinroomaroomwithdifferentuseintheinnercornersofthebuildings.Insection
one can say that the height of the rooms (until approximately four meters) is characteristic as well. The
additionalcriteriaofthistypologyistheclearheightof3,0m.Untiltoday,alotofthesebuildingsarealready

Latentheatstorageiswidelyknownintheformofheatpackswhichare"charged"inhotwater.Useofstored
ice or snow from winter to provide cooling or air conditioning in summer was widespread until the
introduction of compression chillers. The concept is being discussed again today as an approach to save
energy.
However, latent heat storage can also be applied in other temperature ranges. For each application, a
materialwithanappropriatephasechangetemperaturemustbeselected.Differentclassesofmaterialsare

Storageoflatentheatmeansstoringheatinamaterialwhichundergoesaphasechange,asocalledphase

Whataretheprocedurestomakeadecisionwithinownersassociations?

In Germany, we have different management models according to housing industry. Most of the dwellings
belong to municipal enterprises mostly under the legal form of a limited company (GmbH). The second
largestgroupisformedbyprivateeconomicalhousingenterpriseswhichcanoccurunderthelegalformsof
jointstockcompanies(AG),limitedcommercialpartnerships(KG)andalsolimitedcompanies.(Thislistis
not extended to be exhaustive.) The third largest group are coorperatives. Among the mentioned
management models you can also find private associations such as companies constituted under civil law
(GbR)orownerscoorperations(WEG).

Managementmodels,ownersstructuresGermanyPP3

LimitedCommercialPartnership:
In this management model only the personally liable partner is entitled and committed to do the
management. Every personally liable partner is allowed to represent the company on its own. In cases of
extraordinarybusinessdealingsonepartnercandisagreewithanother.Limitedpartnersaredisqualifiedfrom
takingoverthemanagementorfromrepresentingthecompany.
Coorperatives:
Usually, coorperatives have three organs: the executive board, the supervisory board and the general
assembly.Theyarerepresentedbytheexecutiveboard.Ifthereisnoexecutiveboard,representationisdone

Ownerscoorperations:
The highest organ for decision making, its process and selfadministration is the assembly of all owners of
freehold flats. It is responsible for properly and current administration of the facility of the ownership of
residential apartments. So it decides on the distribution of incurred costs such as the waste disposal, the
formationofreservefundsforrepairsorbuildingactivities.Everyonewhoacquiresresidentialpropertyobtain

In Germany there are no national distinctions in the tenancy law. The legal basis for tenancy law are the
regulations in the 535ff of the German Civil Code (Brgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB)48, which became
effective in its original version on1st January 1900. These regulations according to the tenancy law rule for
example:

Thiskindofpanelbuildingsarecommonin
Polish cities. Through the last years many
of them have been insulated and given
newelevations.
There is noticeable majority of loggias
insteadbalconies.

Most often used material: prefabricated

Before the 90s shapes and the look of


buildings was relative the same or very
similar. From the 90s this situation has
been significantly changing. Designers
have started to use more glass in their
projects (i.e. very popular glass
balustrades), more complicated building

1.1.1 Whatkindofresidentialbuildingsisusualintheparticipatingcountries(multipledwelling,
detachedhouses,etc.)?
In the city the usual typology of the residential building is multistorey multifamily building, in the
countryside and suburbia private single family houses. There are also block houses, townhouses,
dormitories and other typologies, but they amount insignificant number in comparison to the bulk of
residentialbuildings.

1.1.2 Whatcanbegenerallysaidabouttheresidentialbuildings(e.g.yearofconstruction,privateor

Buildings most parts of St. Petersburg (with the exception of the central historical areas of the city) are

Multistoreymultifamilybuilding.Thedwellingscanbeprivatepropertyofowners(privatized)orbetheState

servicing company of multistorey buildings is enlisted by the owners of apartments and provided by the
State.Singlefamilyhousesareprivatepropertyoftheowners.

Building standards for the residential buildings have a numerous and demanding requirements. They
determine size and orientation of the windows of residential buildings, thermal conductivity and fire
resistance of the wall materials, number of elevators, type of stairs. The rules have a lot of specific
requirements and restrictions. There are some regulations for insolation, that consider the window surface
