Where does the money come from?

Building Renewal of Private Rental Housing Scope of Chapter 3 Building Renewal of private rental housing (Expenditure Frame for building renewal: previously about 250 million / year, that is, the State's share ... ..to this we would add the municipalities' share, which is at least as big!)

2) built before 1960 and is significantly worn, or § 8. The local council may decide (unfortunately, currently not I Aarhus) to support the cost of building renewal of private rental housing with: 1) missing installations in the form of modern heating, toilet or shower in the dwelling, 2) built before 1960 and is significantly worn, or 3) have prepared an energy label, which contain proposals on energy improvements, in accordance with the Law on the Promotion of Energy Conservation in Buildings. Sect. 2. The decision under Point 1 and 2, may include the following measures: 1) Maintenance works related to the building. 2) Improvement works relating to the building. 3) Demolition, when this is justified by the building's physical condition or the need to provide reasonable access to light, air and living or open spaces for the existing housing estate located in close proximity to the area to be demolished. 4) Construction of small connecting buildings with a view to establishing WC or shower in buildings where individual dwellings contain no toilet or shower, as well as the construction of small buildings for technical equipment or the like.

19 Point Distribution Schedule is used to keep track of this Maintenance costs do not result in rent increases, but are Paid for in cash by the council and the property owner* Improvement works result in rent increases Currently (Aug.2016), Århus Council does not give support for maintenance costs for dwellings. The property owner must finance maintenance 100%

Phase-Support is a financial benefit that is intended to reduce the financial burden on tenants due to improvements made to their dwellings, which result in rent increases. This support is available for rent increases in apartments, where the same tenant inhabits the apartment before and after redevelopment. The aid is paid to the landlord, who then deducts the aid in the monthly rent to the tenant. Phasing Support is granted for a 10 year period. The first year, phasing aid will not exceed 2/3 of the rent increase, which the agreement on green urban renewal brings. After the first year, the annual support is stepped down with 1/10 until the support is phased out. When the annual support from the state decreases, the portion of the rent increase, which the tenants will have to pay for, increases by the same amount. Example: Agreement on green urban renewal will result in a rent increase of 300 kr. Per. m² per. year. The local authority decides to phase support for 2/3 of the rent increase the first year. Phase support will be:                  Phasing Support Bearings Payment of rent increase Year 1: 200 kr. Per. m² 100 kr. per. m² Year 2: 180 kr. Per. m² 120 kr. per. m² Year 3: 160 kr. Per. m² 140 kr. per. m² Year 4: 140 kr. Per. m² 160 kr. per. m² Year 5: 120 kr. Per. m² 180 kr. per. m² Year 6: 100 kr. Per. m² 200 kr. per. m² Year 7: 80 kr. Per. m² 220 kr. per. m² Year 8: 60 kr. Per. m² 240 kr. per. m² Year 9: 40 kr. Per. m² 260 kr. per. m² Year 10: 20 kr. Per. m² 280 kr. per. m² Year 11: 0 kr. Per. m² 300 kr. per. m² If a tenant vacates an apartment, which qualifies for phase support, no support is given for a new tenant. A new tenant must then pay the entire rent increase

(controls economy in cooperation with Council) Landlord Architect (controls economy in cooperation with Council) Proposal + Estimate Sum of Con.Costs ∑ = Mortgage loan in the Landlord´s name The local council decides the distribution of the IMPROVEMENT (%) and the MAINTENANCE (%), which will remain the same throughout the project. ∑, in some councils (not Århus) = 60,000 kr/Dwelling paid by Council/ rest by the Landlord (cash!)

Note: the altered phase names!! ( http://via-bimlab.dk/EML ) The first step in the project is the registration in accordance with the 19 Point Logbook Notes in the Registration Phase Notes in the design phases: Note: the altered phase names!! ( http://via-bimlab.dk/EML )

TOTAL COVER OF THE BUILDING ENVELOPE Establishing total cover of the building can be expensive, but in return carries with it a number of advantages in the form of: • No or fewer days lost due to inclement weather than traditional methods • Reduced cost of traditional winter provisions • Higher productivity on the building site • Better, and dry working conditions and dry constructions • Better quality • Less moisture-related problems (e.g. mold) • Reduced energy consumption and climate impact - But dust problems and problems with transport of building materials It must be stressed that this solution is costly. Responsibility for the quality of work remains with the executing contractor, but the risk of damage due to rainfall is virtually eliminated when using total coverage. However, there is still a risk of damage from frost. SECTION COVER In some cases, total cover is not possible or appropriate. Here you can use other protective-methods. The facades will usually be able to protect by covering of the scaffold, e.g., with nets, reinforced plastic or tarps. Client / Advisor may also consider interim closure with insulating elements. The roof surface must, where appropriate, be protect with section cover to the extent possible.
