As part of the “Wiener Dächer mit Ertrag” project, Sozialbau AG, together with its commercial subsidiary HOB and architect DI Riehs, is focusing on sustainable energy generation through photovoltaics. The aim is to supply the social buildings with ecological and climate-friendly solar energy and thus taken an important step towards energy self-sufficiency.
Ou team is making a significant contribution to this project in the areas of structural design and fire protection. For the construction of the photovoltaic systems and heating containers on the roofs, we record the roof trusses with precise measurements and carry out static verifications in order to take into account the additional loads caused by the PV modules. In cooperation with ZAMG, we also take into account the latest normative findings on snow loads in Vienna and the service life of the PV modules in order to ensure the long-term safety of the systems.
The project covers around 800 properties with a wide variety of roof shapes and sizes, with 92,600 m² of solar panels already installed by 2024 and more to follow. These systems enable climate-friendly electricity generation and make an important contribution to achieving the climate neutrality target by 2040.
We are proud to contribute to this sustainable development with our expertise in structural design and fire protection and, together with Sozialbau AG and its partners, to transform Vienna’s roofs into a clean source of energy.
