Aktivplus eV is a German construction initiative that incorporates sustainability into the fabric of buildings and neighbourhoods. The organisation is open to planners, scientists and other members of the construction industry who are interested in developing sustainable standards.

Akitvplus eV has been involved in research and development of the Building Monitor, which was funded by the Pathfinder programme of the EU initiative known as EIT Climate-KIC. EIT Climate-KIC is the biggest EU innovation initiative for climate friendly technologies.

= History =

Aktivplus eV was launched in 2013. The founding members were Norbert Fisch, Gerd Hauser, Gerhard Hausladen and Manfred Hegger.

In 2014, the aktivplus standard (originally referred to as the AktivhausPlus standard) was introduced by the founding members at the association’s first official symposium. This was followed by the release of a pilot programme for aktivplus in 2015, and a user manual for the standard was released in 2016.

Over the years, experts from architecture, science, engineering and related disciplines have participated in the development of the aktivplus standard for buildings and people. As of July 2020, there are 70 members of the aktivplus eV community.

There are currently 25 buildings that have been planned based on the aktivplus standard. These structures include single family homes, apartment blocks, a local government building and a day care centre.

Energy usage in buildings is the basis of the aktivplus standard, which seeks to integrate beneficial energy consumption and generation for the benefit of building occupants, infrastructure and the overall environment. As a standard, aktivplus calculates energy and CO2 emissions per square metre and per person.

The aktivplus standard shares some characteristics of Active House. Both strive to provide a beneficial indoor environment. However, the execution of this goal differs slightly from Active House to aktivplus.

Active House emphasises three primary principles - comfort, energy, environment - and nine key factors. Energy is a shared principle of Active House and aktivplus, but aktivplus which also looks at users, networks and building lifecycle (or four primary principles). Instead of nine factors, aktivplus examines 14 key criteria - eight qualitative (or softer) and six quantitative components.
