Turn old into new: The right plan for the renovation of old buildings

With a few well-planned renovation measures, a building becomes a real place of well-being. A well-insulated roof, new windows and modern building services create security, ensure a pleasant room climate and keep heating costs low. However, there are a few points to consider when renovating a building.

You should bear this in mind when renovating:

• Heaters that are older than 30 years usually need to be replaced.
• In Baden-Württemberg (Germany) the Renewable Heat Act applies. This obliges to cover 15% of the heat demand with renewable energies or to implement certain replacement measures.
• The top floor ceiling must be insulated if the roof is not insulated.
• The following applies to other building components: If the building component needs to be renovated or replaced, the energy requirements according to the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) must be met.
