The ClimateHouse energy efficiency certification promotes the adoption of

It was developed in Italy under the name CasaClima and is operated by the South Tyrol Energy Agency. It was established as part of a program of work on energy-efficient building in the German-speaking region of Italy.^[1] The first house was certified in 2002. As of 2019^[update], about 9,000 buildings in Italy have been rated by the agency.^[2]

Rating categories

The category of energy saving determines if a building is classified as a ClimateHouse. The ClimateHouse categories provide an instant estimate of a building's energy consumption. Certified buildings according to ClimateHouse standards can save as much as 90 percent of the energy compared to traditionally constructed buildings.^[3]

There are three classes:

• Gold – heating energy requirement under 10 kWh/m²a (so called 1-litre-construction)
• A – heating energy requirement under 30 kWh/m²a (so called 3-litre-construction)
• B – heating energy requirement under 50 kWh/m²a (so called 5-litre-construction)

To qualify for ClimateHouse Plus certification, a building must fulfill the following criteria:

• Heating energy consumption requirement under 50 kWh/m²a.
• Heating fuelled by
  renewable energy sources
  , use of environmentally friendly, non-health-damaging building materials.
• Inclusion of at least one of the following measures: A
  photovoltaic system, solar panels for water heating and/or integrated with heating system, rainwater usage, green roof
