Serial renovation: guide to the heat transition in Offenbach!

Offenbach, Deutschland - The debated heat turnaround in the German building sector absorbs speed, especially in the context of the shortage of skilled workers and the ambitious climate targets. A key role plays the concept of serial renovation, which was presented in Offenbach as part of the “Energiesprong on Tour” event. Hesse's Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Kaweh Mansori emphasized that this method is crucial for the fast, tenant-friendly and economic modernization of existing buildings. As Wirtschaft.hessen.de , climate-efficient solutions can be created through serial renovation and at the same time generated new living space, which relieves the tense housing market in metropolitan areas.

The serial renovation process includes the energetic modernization of buildings using prefabricated facade and roof elements. This enables faster and more precise renovation, which can also be combined with digital inventory such as 3D scans and BIM models. These innovative approaches have the potential to modernize the existing living space in a climate-neutral manner, while construction times as well as noise and dust emissions are significantly reduced.

advantages and possible uses

The advantages of serial renovation are diverse. Corinna Enders, Managing Director of the German Energy Agency (DENA), explained that the method offers double added value due to increasing and creating living space. According to Boris Kupke, the managing director of the municipal housing company GBO, the prefabrication also has the advantage of minimizing stress for tenants during the construction phases.

The innovative construction helps to advance the urgently needed renovations and is particularly suitable for residential and non-residential buildings. It is estimated that around 30% of apartment buildings in Germany could be considered for serial renovation. There is an urgent need for action with regard to the inventory in need of renovation, of which around 75% are insufficiently insulated and consume up to five times more energy than would be necessary. In order to achieve the climate goals, around 1800 residential buildings would have to be modernized in the next 21 years.

economy and support needs

The economy of these projects is on the brink: the GBO is dependent on public funding in order to be able to make the energy -efficient renovation and creation of new living space profitable. The nbau.org also reports that significant regulatory requirements make it difficult to implement the roof expansion projects. Planned simplifications could support serial renovation and associated top -up projects in the future.

An example of successful serial renovation can be found in Munich-Moosach, where two point houses were partially rebuilt by a triple top-up. 50 existing apartments and 24 new family apartments with a total usable area of ​​1924 m² were built here, which was implemented in just 61 working days. These projects show that serial renovation is not only cost -effective, but also contributes to improving the quality of life of the tenants - with minimal rent increases and energy savings.

Overall, the serial renovation marks a pioneering step towards environmentally friendly modernization and offers the German housing industry an innovative solution that makes both ecologically and economically sensible.
