INTRODUCTION 

JOINTLY REDUCING CO 2 

IN AN ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE WAY 

Our goal is to continuously improve our environmental performance. 

That is why we have introduced the voluntary environmental 

management system EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). 

EMAS is a tried and tested instrument that helps, among other 

things, to implement national and European targets, save resources 

and costs, reduce environmental pollution and continuously improve. 

An essential part of the environmental management system is to 

involve and motivate employees to support the implementation of 

environmental measures. Together with our employees, we want 

to make a positive contribution to environmental protection and 

sustainability. As civil engineers in the field of construction and 

renovation, we support the path to a positive climate future and 

thus the goal of achieving climate neutrality in 2040. Since 2020, 

we have been cooperating with klimaaktiv, the climate protection 

initiative of the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, 

Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK), in the area of 

construction and renovation with regard to the dissemination of the 

klimaaktiv building standard and an overall consideration of the CO 2 

impact.

COMPANY PORTRAIT OVERVIEW 

KPPK ZIVILTECHNIKER GMBH - LET‘S BUILD TOGETHER 

Founded in 2005, KPPK Ziviltechniker GmbH has developed from a civil engineering office 

run as a sole proprietorship called „Klaus Petraschka Planung & Konstruktion“ into a 

company with more than 30 employees. However, KPPK stands above all for four values 

that distinguish us as a company:

In cooperation with builders, architects and specialist engineers, we design all planning 

and inspection processes in the construction industry. We offer all the services required 

to implement building projects as simply and efficiently as possible. Time and again, we 

break new ground and push the boundaries of what is possible. We integrate our clients 

as partners from the very beginning - because this is the only way to create good buildings.

STRUCTURAL PLANNING 

We develop structural solutions from the structural design with drawing 

representation, from approval to completion. Due to the increasingly 

complex load-bearing structures as well as the use-related 

adaptation of ground plan and geometry, it is indispensable to generate 

exact three-dimensional static models for the analysis of the 

force flow and deformations of load-bearing structures. The consideration 

of a holistic system in connection with the different disciplines 

is a daily must for the processing of our projects. This allows us to 

constantly monitor all parameters in order to design an efficient and 

economical structure.

CONSTRUCTION PHYSICS 

Energy-efficient buildings are a must nowadays. We offer competent 

support in the specialist areas of heat, sound and moisture protection. 

We plan and optimise our buildings in an interdisciplinary team 

of energy technicians, building physicists and building services engineers. 

An energy performance certificate is used to assess the thermal 

quality of a building and can be used to optimise the thermal 

envelope accurately and in a targeted manner, thus improving the 

economic efficiency of buildings. With thermodynamic simulation, we 

can map solar inputs and the storage capacity of the building, avoid 

oversized and inefficient systems for heating and cooling, and thus 

optimise buildings. 

BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 

The engineering discipline of building technology influences the disciplines 

of structural design, building physics and fire protection. 

Therefore, the focal points of cooling - ventilation - heating are considered 

by us in an overarching manner and dealt with in a timely 

manner. With tailor-made energy and climate concepts, we can respond 

individually to the most diverse requirements. The sustainable 

and economical use of renewable energy such as solar energy, solar 

thermal energy and geothermal energy is a central theme here. Modern, 

sustainable technologies such as controlled ventilation and air 

extraction are part of a comprehensive solution. Perfect air quality 

and a pleasant, constant indoor climate are not only important prerequisites 

for general well-being, but also for the required increased air 

exchange in the context of the Covid 19 pandemic. 

FIRE PROTECTION PLANNING 

In fire protection planning, we attach the greatest importance to the 

best possible selection of measures that meet all fire protection requirements. 

Various regulations and laws of the individual federal 

states, special requirements of the approving authorities and specifications 

of special experts involved must be integrated into the 

planning. Through careful and consistent planning, necessary measures 

are implemented, but expensive and uneconomical ones are 

avoided.

CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION 

We take over the legal duties of the builder, taking into account the 

general principles of hazard prevention, and appoint a planning and 

construction site coordinator. 

Construction site coordination regulates and supports safety on the 

construction site. It coordinates the professionals and their staff working 

on the construction site, especially when work is being -carried out 

at the same time. 

PRÜFINGENIEUR 

The inspection engineer according to the Vienna Building Code is prescribed 

by the building police in the building decision to the building applicant 

as a controlling authority. The inspection engineer is responsible 

for compliance with the building regulations (OIB guidelines and Vienna 

Building Code) together with the building manager. The responsibility 

of the inspection engineer according to the Vienna Building Code is 

regulated by § 125, 127 and 128 of the Vienna Building Code. With the 

notification of completion, the inspection engineer confirms the construction 

of the building in accordance with the submission plan (possibly 

the following replacement plans) and compliance with the Vienna 

Building Code and is also liable in the event of non-compliance.

BIM - BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING 

Thanks to interdisciplinary internal processing (statics, building physics, 

building technology) and the latest software, we are able to offer 

fully integrated planning. Since the beginning, we have been working 

on our projects in virtual three-dimensional space in order to be 

able to map all boundary conditions of the future building. 

are taken into account from the outset, BIM leads to highly efficient 

planning management and to a valuable and comprehensive database 

for the subsequent processing in facility management. 

Thanks to the development of the data exchange format IFC (industry 

foundation classes) and the programming implementation in our 

software, all component-specific data can now be 

implemented from one software to the next and 

back again without loss and with little manipulation.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT 

The aim of construction management is to complete a construction project 

in such a way that the agreed deadlines, costs and qualities are met. 

Tendering: Construction management serves as a link between planning 

and execution and defines and executes the contractual basis for 

the client and the contractor. 

Awarding: We distinguish construction management from project management 

and accompanying control. 

REAL ESTATE VALUATION 

In a property valuation, the respective market value is determined on a 

specific date. The purpose of a property valuation can be very different. 

A property valuation is required in the course of a sale, for estates, to 

determine insurance values and as collateral for loans. During the inspection 

of the property (house, land), all relevant facts are recorded 

and documented and flow into the valuation of the expert opinion.

WE ARE ACTIVELY SHAPING A POSITIVE CLIMATE FUTURE 

Renewable energies are the topic of the future in the building industry. 

We create viable concepts to equip buildings in a climate-neutral 

way and with sustainable materials. Smart technologies such as solar 

power and air or geothermal energy have a positive impact on the 

environment. 

We provide comprehensive advice and offer customised solutions to 

integrate these innovations effectively and cost-efficiently - individually 

tailored to specific requirements and local conditions. Our goal is 

not only to create visions, but to realise efficient solutions for active 

climate protection. As a programme partner, we cooperate with klimaaktiv 

in the field of building and renovation with regard to the dissemination 

of the klimaaktiv building standard and a holistic view of 

the CO 2 

impact. The klimaaktiv Building and Renovation programme 

is part of the BMK‘s klimaaktiv climate protection initiative. 

We train our employees to become klimaaktiv competence partners 

so that they can implement the klimaaktiv standards and guidelines 

for requirements in terms of energy efficiency and renewable energy 

technologies in the best possible way. Through training and further 

education, they keep their know-how in all areas of construction up 

to date in order to meet the klimaaktiv quality standards. 


CLIMATE-NEUTRAL BUILDING, SUSTAINABLE IMPLEMENTATION 

In order to implement viable and sustainable energy concepts in 

our projects and to equip buildings in a climate-neutral way and 

with sustainable materials, a web-based tool called R.O.S.E. ® was 

developed. In the tool, alternative energy sources can be compared 

with conventional fossil energy sources in order to be able to 

determine the exact amortisation periods at the beginning of a project 

on the basis of the net present value method. The calculation 

can be started by entering simple, basic information and key data 

of a building - such as an energy certificate, the floor area or the 

heating load. Additional subsidies, energy price trends and interest 

rate trends are also taken into account. 

An additional feature allows the CO 2 

savings to be displayed as 

a percentage on the basis of characteristic values and also to be 

13 . RANGE OF SERVICES

priced in. Many individual adjustments can be made to the parameters, 

such as the orientation of the solar thermal and PV system, as 

well as the size of a battery storage unit. subsequently, the degree 

of self-sufficiency and the self-consumption share of the building 

are calculated in connection with alternative energy systems. The 

graphical representation of the results and the amortisation enables 

a simple description and interpretation, as can be seen in the 

figure. As a result, it is possible, especially at the beginning of a 

project, to adapt the planning accordingly on the basis of the information 

on how quickly an alternative energy system pays off. By 

raising awareness that alternative energy sources quickly pay for 

themselves through significantly lower consumption-related costs, 

solutions for the use of renewable energy can be actively implemented.

LOCATION 

LOCATION FROM 2015 - 2020 NEW LOCATION FROM 2021 

Even at our old location in the courtyard building at Schottenfeldgasse 

65 in 1070 Vienna, it was important to us to ensure the greatest 

possible flexibility in the work process in an open office structure. 

The secessionist building, built in 1905 by Oskar Neumann, originally 

housed the Andreas Neider shoe factory and was formerly used as 

a studio by the artist Schilling. It was converted for us as a large-volume 

industrial loft with a total usable space of 315 m2 on one level, 

two large balconies, underfloor heating and gas heating and rented 

to us on a fixed-term basis including two parking spaces in the basement. 

Due to the high proportion of windows and the east-west orientation, 

air conditioning was required. Due to the half-storey location, it was 

not possible to guarantee barrier-free access. An energy upgrade 

- through thermal renovation and a shading system - could not be 

implemented and thus no further measures were taken. Due to rapid 

growth and increased space requirements, also due to the Covid 19 

pandemic, we took the decision to change. 

In January 2021, we moved to new office premises at Gumpendorfer 

Strasse 132 in 1060 Vienna. The listed building was built in 1893 and 

renovated in 1998. The owner (Pretia GmbH) made it possible for us 

to renovate the former natural light studio of the Listo Film company 

by means of an open-ended rental contract and corresponding compensation 

for investments. In the course of this, the office space was 

modernised, the office standards were adapted and a large part of 

the old light bulbs were replaced by energy-saving LED light bulbs. 

The external shading system, the large air space and the possibility 

of cooling via night ventilation significantly increase the working 

comfort. 

Due to the hall-like construction of the studio and the additional 

gallery area built in during the general renovation in 1998, the usable 

area doubled to about 900 m2. This made it possible for us to -guarantee 

the minimum workplace distance per employee required by 

the Covid 19 pandemic - which meant that we no longer had to move 

to a home office.

The central location of our office provides 

very good connections to public transport. 

From 2022, our employees will receive a 

job ticket for the Wiener Linien after five 

years of employment. 

In addition, to promote the use of bicycles 

by our staff, we have created a secure parking 

area in the courtyard. For this purpose, 

two rented parking spaces were converted 

into bicycle parking spaces. In addition, 

two e-bikes were purchased, which are 

used for trips in Vienna.

WE WORK TOGETHER 

We are a highly qualified, agile and committed team and see ourselves 

as thought leaders for a sustainable construction industry. A 

basic requirement in our company is equal opportunities - regardless 

of age, gender and origin. For us, mutual trust is the basis of 

constructive and good cooperation. We cooperate with our clients 

and project partners in an appreciative manner and at eye level. We 

ask questions, listen and involve them in all processes from the very 

beginning - from the start of the project to the handover. Always keeping 

the big picture in mind, we take care of every detail. As a civil 

engineering company, we provide our services in accordance with 

the state of the art and comply with all legal and statutory requirements. 

Not only because we are obliged to do so, but because it is a 

matter of concern to us. Just as it is particularly important to us to act 

transparently and independently.

19 . WE WORK TOGETHER

The pandemic has shown us that many things that were previously 

unthinkable have become feasible - such as working in a home 

office. A renewal that worked so smoothly that we will continue to 

make it possible for our staff once a week in the future. The top 

priority was and still is to offer our female staff the greatest possible 

protection during the pandemic. Therefore, as early as September 

2020, in cooperation with a laboratory, we implemented a 

comprehensive testing strategy to detect asymptomatic infections 

at an early stage and thus contain the incidence of infection in the 

long term. Health and safety at the workplace is an essential part 

of success and sustainability at the workplace. We rely on regular 

measures - from training in first aid and behaviour in case of fire to 

driving training and participation in the annual business run - and 

even have our own in-house defibrillator. 

We are particularly proud of our pension scheme for employees - a 

voluntary additional benefit that is not a matter of course for companies 

of our size. After two years with the company, it serves as a 

basic provision including an additional basic provision of 2% of the 

annual gross salary and one-time additional contributions, depending 

on the success of the company. Regardless of whether one 

leaves the company later, the pension provision remains in place.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABILITY POLICY 

In the daily cooperation with clients, architects and specialist engineers, 

KPPK Ziviltechniker GmbH is not only responsible for the creative 

process of planning and building. As a centre of competence for 

our clients, we create efficient solutions for active climate protection 

with our well-positioned team from the very beginning of the project. 

The aim of our sustainability policy is to raise ecological awareness 

in the building process and to create a balance between the use and 

regeneration of resources. In doing so, we do our best to define the 

processing of each project together with our clients in this sense, 

without neglecting the demand for feasibility - all this in an interdisciplinary 

cooperation between our service areas of structural design, 

building physics, fire protection, building technology planning -and 

construction management. 

With customised energy and climate concepts, we can respond individually 

to the most diverse utilisation requirements and local conditions. 

The ecological and economic use of renewable energy is a 

particularly important issue. We are also committed to a continuous 

improvement process in our own company with regard to environmental 

performance. 

We design internal processes in an environment- and climate-friendly 

way and continuously reduce waste production. All measures in 

the company are implemented jointly, as it is important to us to involve 

-all employees. Environmentally relevant criteria are taken into 

account for our operating resources. The focus is on environmentally 

friendly products and sustainable procurement. With the introduced 

environmental management system according to EMAS (EMAS 

= Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) and regular audits, we can 

also guarantee a continuous improvement process. 

Relevant environmental laws and regulations are continuously collected, 

documented and complied with. Through regular training and 

information in the area of environmental and employee protection, 

we ensure that our environmental processes meet the objectives and 

are always adapted to the latest findings. By publishing our environmental 

declaration, we want to inform employees, clients, suppliers

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY . 22

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 

The environmental team, led by Sylvia Kohlmaier, advised and 

supported in all environmental matters by Elisabeth Einhorn and 

Christian Lackner, was tasked with implementing the environmental 

management system according to EMAS in compliance with the law 

and standards. 

With the introduction of the environmental management system, 

the environmental aspects in our own area were analysed in detail 

and a set of rules was created, with which the environmental performance 

can be further improved and controlled accordingly. It 

ensures the implementation of the environmental policy, the environmental 

goals and the environmental and sustainability programme 

of KPPK Ziviltechniker GmbH. Its structure and documentation 

comply with the requirements of the EMAS Regulation. Detailed 

implementation regulations are laid down in procedural and work 

instructions. 

As part of the management review, the management reviews the 

-effectiveness, adequacy and performance of the environmental 

management system and, together with the environmental team 

and the team leaders, determines the necessary measures for 

continuous improvement as well as for the implementation of the 

environmental goals. For internal processes, the main legal obligations 

arise from the areas of environmental protection, waste management 

and employee protection, among others. For the implementation 

of our services, additional significant legal obligations 

arise, among others, from the areas of consumer protection, codes 

of conduct, Austrian standards, building regulations and definitions 

of the state of the art and science. 

With the support of Kanzian Engineering & Consulting, a separate 

legal register was created and all relevant regulations at EU, federal 

and state level were recorded. The relevant laws and regulations 

and the resulting tasks in the legal register are updated 4 times a 

year as part of a periodic legal update. 

The legal register enables the assessment of compliance with legal 

provisions. The assessment of the individual legal areas is carried 

out by the responsible employees and recorded in the legal register. 

Corresponding notes on the status of the obligations are kept 

in the legal register. In the course of this, it is also determined how 

often or when follow-up assessments are to take place. A risk-ba- 

23 . ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

sed approach is followed - critical regulations are to be evaluated 

more frequently. 

If deviations from the legally compliant status are detected, corrective 

measures are initiated immediately and verifiably, and their effectiveness 

is checked after completion. The members of the environmental 

team implement the legal measures applicable to their area 

of responsibility or forward them to the respective persons authorised 

to act and monitor their implementation. 

The legal obligations are checked for validity, completeness and 

compliance through the annual „Legal Compliance Check“ and as 

part of internal audits, site inspections and the external monitoring 

audit by the environmental auditor.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS 

The environmental aspects can be used to define appropriate bases 

for the environmental programme and the setting of environmental 

targets. Environmental aspects can have positive or negative effects 

on the environment and can be divided into direct and indirect. Direct 

environmental aspects concern the immediate operating site and reflect 

those areas and activities that can be fully controlled by the organisation. 

This concerns, for example: 

• Emissions into the atmosphere 

• Use of sustainable resources such as renewable energy 

• Reduction of noise, waste, hazardous substances, etc. 

Indirect environmental aspects are activities and areas that cannot be 

directly influenced by the organisation. This can be, for example: 

• Environmental behaviour of clients 

• Composition of the product range 

• Composition of services, etc. 

In the course of the environmental assessment, we have determined 

the environmental aspects of our operations and activities. These are 

aspects that can lead to negative as well as positive environmental 

impacts. We then rated them as „low“, „medium“ or „high“ for the following 

criteria. 

• Intensity: extent, number, frequency and reversibility of the environmental 

aspect or of the resulting impacts. 

• Harm (benefit): potential harm (or potential benefit) to the environment, 

taking into account the state of the environment. 

• Environmental law: existence of relevant environmental regulations 

and their requirements 

• Importance for stakeholders, including employees 

The column „Priority“ shows an overall assessment of the individual 

aspects. All environmental aspects rated „medium“ or „high“ are classified 

as significant environmental aspects. These are the focus of our 

environmental management system. These are the consumption of: 

• Natural gas 

• Electricity 

• Fuel 

• Cleaning agents 

• Advertising material 

• as well as greenhouse gas emissions, procurement and 

emergencies like fire and refrigerant leakage. 

In addition, in a separate column, we have also rated the possibilities 

for improvement from “low“ to „high“.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS . 28

EXPLANATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS 

ENERGY 

The data and information on electricity and gas are taken from the monthly and annual invoices 

from Wien Energie. From 2019 to 2020, a reduction in electricity and gas consumption can be 

observed both in absolute terms and per employee. An increase in the share of renewable energy 

is particularly positive. This increase is due to the increase in renewable energies for electricity at 

Wien Energie. The decrease in the share of renewable energy per employee from 2019 to 2020 

can be explained by an increase in the number of employees and a simultaneous decrease in 

total energy consumption. 

The energy consumption for diesel was determined on the basis of the quantities of diesel 

consumed annually for the vehicle fleet. The vehicle fleet currently consists of three vehicles. A 

decrease from 2019 to 2020 can be attributed to an increased use of public transport and a lower 

demand due to the Corona pandemic. 

RAW, AUXILIARY AND OPERATING MATERIALS 

When calculating the consumption of printer paper, the purchased quantities of paper 

were determined. However, the quantities were considered individually - purchased 

quantities in December were added to the following year as a matter of priority. 

With an increase in the number of staff members, an increase in consumption can be 

noticed, but on average the quantities used per staff member decrease. An increase in the 

number of staff may also be the reason for an increase in the purchase of toilet paper. At 

the same time, the quantities of printer cartridges used have been reduced. 

Care is taken to use only printer paper and toilet paper that is marked with certified 

environmental labels. 

Based on the kilometres travelled by train, the energy demand for train journeys could be 

determined. An increase here is basically to be assessed as positive. 

The largest energy consumption in the office is attributable to electricity, heating and the vehicle 

fleet. In the case of electricity, the lighting and the PCs and printing stations in particular have a 

high consumption. However, the overall balance of total energy consumption shows a decrease, 

which is a positive development. 

The figure below shows an overview of the origin of the electricity.

Natural gas* 6,66% 

*is used for the simultaneous production of electricity and

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS 1 

The CO 2 

emissions for electricity, gas and diesel were calculated using the CO 2 

calculator 

of the Federal Environment Agency. 

For the emissions of the rail journeys, values for CO 2 

equivalents per km were researched 

and the value calculated from this. 

It can be seen that all emissions, with the exception of rail emissions, are steadily 

decreasing over the years. An increase in emissions from train journeys can generally be 

seen as positive, as an increase in the number of employees leads to an increase in the 

use of public transport. 

In addition, the air pollutants caused (SO 2 

, NO x 

and particles) were calculated from a wide 

range of emission factors from the Federal Environment Agency, information from Wien 

Energie and press releases. 

29 . ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

WATER NEED 

Due to an increase in the number of staff, an increase in water consumption was observed 

at the same time. Saving measures can be taken in the future, e.g. through education or by 

using more water-saving devices. 

WASTE 

Due to a lack of information on the quantities of total waste generated, no quantifiable 

values are available for 2018, 2019 and 2020. However, the waste is separated in the 

office and the different fractions are disposed of individually. 

In addition to residual waste, we separate and dispose of the following fractions 

separately: 

11116: Food cans; metal 

31468: White glass 

31469: Stained glass 

11102: Overstocked food, organic waste 

57118: Plastic containers 

18718: Paper and cardboard, waste paper 

Waste in the office is kept as low as possible. For example, only ground coffee from the 

company‘s own micro-roasting plant from Röstwerktatt e.U., is used. At meetings, only 

fresh water from glass bottles is offered. The hazardous waste consists exclusively of 

toners and printer cartridges, which are collected for the benefit of the „Red Noses“. The 

Red Noses have been working for many years with partners, who turn used toners and 

old mobile phones into valuable donations. We support the campaign with ink and toner 

cartridges as well as used mobile phones. With this support, we not only protect the 

environment, but also make a significant contribution to more laughter in the hospital.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMME 

In the environmental programme, we define goals and measures based 

on the environmental policy and the identified relevant environmental 

aspects. Within the framework of the annual audit, the management 

review and the economic development, this programme 

is evaluated, adjusted if necessary and expanded. 

We would like to further develop our R.O.S.E. ® tool in the future in 

order to be able to make even more detailed entries and assumptions 

for the energy representation of a building. In addition to the 

calculation of the heating load and the associated energy need, cooling 

is becoming an increasingly important issue, especially in cities. 

In R.O.S.E. ® , it should therefore be possible to consider conventional 

split units and cooling with a heat pump in context with the help of a 

simplified cooling load calculation. 

In addition, a more specific graphical representation of the PV system‘s 

own consumption is to be integrated for better interpretation.
