RES-H Polices in Upper Austria - Examples Financial support (direct investment subsidies) for biomass and solar for private households ~ %, for businesses 44 % Obligation to use RES (heating & DHW) in new & renovated public buildings Obligation to use an "alternative energy system" in all new buildings > 1000 m²; exception: if the technical, economic or ecologic inexpedience (Unzweckmäßigkeit) can be proven "Solar obligation": all new homes Onspot free energy advice for all private homes and public bodies, for companies subsidised to 75 % Comprehensive training programme for RES-h for all actors along the value chain regular large publicity campaigns for solar and biomass (e.g. O.Ö. Solarkampagne 2006 & 2007, O.Ö. Pelletskampagne 2008 & 2009), funded by the regional government Ökonergie-Cluster: network of 150 RES & EE companies EGEM: participative local energy action plans ESV-Design081465en
