Energy-Efficient Renovation

Benefits of Energy-Efficient Renovation

Are you still unsure about the benefits of energy-efficient renovation or what you should consider regarding the building envelope and systems for your new construction? The brochure “At Home in the Future: Highly Efficient Construction and Renovation” from the Bavarian Energy Atlas is here to help. It clearly illustrates what makes a home energy-efficient.

Is a renovation worth it for you?

Would you like to save on energy costs but aren’t sure if a renovation is worth it? Then why not start by simulating a renovation on your computer using the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action’s renovation calculator! First, enter details about the current condition of your building, and then select various renovation options. Which renovations lead to which energy savings? What are the costs for each renovation measure, and which of these measures are subsidized by the government?
