1) Consists of electricity consumption in the portfolio’s communal spaces and total heat consumption in the portfolio (according to energy certificates, calculated for living and communal areas).
2) When calculating the heat energy used, the rental areas were extrapolated to the total building area in accordance with ENEV 2020 §82 (2) by adding 20% for the common areas. However, the denominator of this key figure remains the rental space without common areas. In 2019, calculation for the Austrian region according to extrapolated consumption in line with the Klimaaktiv Pact.
3) Other includes: Biomass, solar thermal, heat pumps.
4) Calculation based on the share of renewable energy in the Swedish electricity mix according to the Swedish Energy Agency, and in the Austrian electricity mix according to the E-Control 2020 electricity disclosure report (in each case location-based approach). For the Germany region since 2020, all volumes handled via VESG by means of 100% green electricity proof of origin, cleared via the Federal Environment Agency’s register of guarantees of origin. Remainder and previously: electricity mix for Germany.
