Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich einleitend mit den Möglichkeiten auseinander, Streitigkeiten, die immer wieder in typischen Konstellationen im Bauvertrag gem. §§ 650a ff BGB, den Eskalationsfeldern, auftreten, durch gesetzlich bereitgestellte Verfahren wie aber auch durch materielles...

In this paper, we investigate the actual impact of building energy efficiency standards, which is one of the most common residential energy efficiency policies across countries. Using a detailed household level data (N=84,864) from Turkey, we estimate the heterogeneous effects of building codes...

Globally, buildings account for 37 percent of energy and process-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. With increasing urbanization and population growth, demand for energy will continue to increase faster than the supply of renewable energy. This means that increasing the efficiency of...

Conflicting societal goals can lead to national and local policies that are at odds with each other. National policies promoting the adoption of solar photovoltaics may be counteracted by local policies defining the aesthetics of the built environment. As solar photovoltaic energy approaches...

Wesentliche Teile der Bauproduktion finden unter „freiem Himmel“ statt. Bauunternehmen sind dabei in unterschiedlicher Weise von den verschiedenen Witterungsereignissen (z. B. hohen und niedrigen Lufttemperaturen, Niederschlag, Wind) abhängig. Trotz der Tatsache, dass Bauunternehmen seit...

The United Kingdom’s housing costs are among the highest on earth, and London is virtually the most expensive major city in the world for renting or buying a home. People often avoid moving to work in productive sectors because nearby housing is too expensive. The proportion of Britons who...

We develop a framework to estimate the economic value of a recent zoning reform in the city of Sao Paulo, which altered maximum permitted construction at the city-block level. Using a spatial regression discontinuity design, we find that developers file for more multi-family construction permits...

Veränderte Handwerksstrukturen führen zu differenziertem Flächenbedarf für die verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen der Handwerksbetriebe. Andererseits resultieren aus gewandelten flächen- und standortbezogenen umwelt- und städtebaurechtlichen Anforderungen Restriktionen für die Entwicklung...

As losses from natural disasters steadily increase, communities search for ways to increase resilience. The state of Florida enacted stronger building codes in 2002 as a way to limit losses from windstorms. This study uses realized insured loss data to examine the effect of the Florida Building...

Moore, OK, suffered 3 violent tornadoes from 1999-2013, the most recent causing $3 billion in damage and 24 fatalities. In response the city took the rare step of enhancing their building code based on wind engineering principles. To meet the new code, the Moore Association of Home Builders...

Hurricane Andrew revealed inadequate construction practices were utilized in Florida for decades. In response, Florida adopted a new statewide code – the 2001 Florida Building Code (FBC) which became one of the strictest in the nation. We use ten years of insured loss data to show that the FBC...

Die in den Jahren 2009 und 2014 in Kraft getretenen Energieeinsparverordnungen (EnEV), die jeweils erhebliche Verschärfungen der baulichen Anforderungen beinhalteten, hat den Baukosten im Wohnungsneubau einen Schub gegeben. Die Effekte verteilten sich allerdings jeweils auf mehrere Jahre und...

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema Stadthotels in Deutschland zwischen Energieeffizienz und Wirtschaftlichkeit - Studie auf Grundlagen der EnEV-Anforderungen. Die Arbeit setzt sich mit einer qualitativen und quantitativen Analyse über die Energieeffizienz auf Grundlagen der...

A wide array of local government regulations influences the amount, location, and shape of residential development. In this chapter, we review the literature on the causes and effects of this type of regulation. We begin with a discussion of how researchers measure regulation empirically, which...

This paper documents the effects of the privatisation of building code enforcement regimes. It notes that privatization is generally accompanied by trade-offs between competing democratic values such as effectiveness, efficiency, accountability and equity and explores the extent to which...
