English abstract:
This paper introduces Sufficiency as a strategy; employed in order to outline the potentials and evolve the sustainable use of both buildings and devices. The main focus of research lies upon analysis of sufficient use of space and electrical devices in the social housing stock of the Austrian post-war Modernism. Further focus is the research of potentials for application of renewable energy technologies in this kind of building typologies and urban settlements. Through interdisciplinary analysis of the building typologies of residential apartment blocks of the post-war era, involving four disciplines (housing research, life cycle analysis, energy efficiency and energy systems) the potentials for sufficient use of space and floor areas, energy efficiency, and energy production will be identified and systemized.
Three basic innovative reconstruction MODELS will be proposed and evaluated:
1. "Low impact"= Sufficient remodeling, none to moderate measures of energy efficiency of the building skin),
2. "Pasive House Standard"= Sufficient remodeling + "Passive house"-Standard performance (Heating energy consumption less than 15kWh/mē year)
3. "Active House "for "0-energy" to "Plus-energy" performance (Sufficient remodeling, measures to increase energy efficiency and achieve energy production of the building skin, application of renewable energy resources e.g. Photovoltaic und Solar Panels)

Final goal is the development of an evaluation tool for measuring of sufficiency in planning: "Sufficiency Factor". Further expected results are generation of comprehensive database of sustainable use, such as Life Cycle Cost (construction cost, yield, operation, maintenance), and energy consumption (kwh/mē GFA) for the social housing building typology in Austria from 1945 till 1970.
