General Questions
Who organizes AEMS, and is it officially accredited?
AEMS is an officially accredited university course at BOKU University Vienna. The program is a collaboration between OeAD student housing (organizer), BOKU University, and the Economy for the Common Good. More information can be found here.
What is OeAD student housing?
OeAD student housing provides energy-efficient accommodation for students across Austria and hosts approximately 10,000 students annually. Sustainability is a core principle of OeAD student housing. As a non-profit organization, it focuses on innovative construction projects, including globally recognized energy-efficient student residences in Passivhaus Standard and beyond.
Since 2005, CEO Günther Jedliczka has been a true pioneer in creating sustainable student housing. Examples include the Popup dorms, mobile student homes crafted from wood to meet the Passivhaus Standard, the GreenHouse, the world’s first Energy-Plus student residence that generates more energy than it consumes, or the Mineroom, the world’s first multi-story Passivhaus-Plus student residence built entirely from wood.
Günther Jedliczka also initiated the Green.Building.Solutions. and AEMS Summer Universities to address global challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity, while inspiring the next generation to lead the green transformation.
Does OeAD student housing offer other Summer Universities?
Yes! We also offer the Green.Building.Solutions. Summer University.
This program attracts changemakers and future green builders who aim to apply their knowledge to create a more sustainable world. It is particularly relevant for students and professionals in fields such as civil and ecological engineering, architecture, land management, and related disciplines. The next Green.Building.Solutions. course will take place from July 13 to August 1, 2026.
