Red alarm level: Roads during building funding endanger renovation goals

Important challenges for energetic renovation in Germany

Berlin faces a significant challenge in the area of ​​energetic renovation of buildings. Planned cuts in the climate and transformation fund (KTF) endanger federal funding for efficient buildings (BEG). Jan Peter Hinrichs, Managing Director of the Federal Association of Energy -Efficient Building Club (BuveG), warns that this could lead to a dramatic decline in renovation activities.

The renovation rate in Germany is currently only 0.7 percent, far from the target value of two percent. This unsatisfactory number shows that many real estate owners hesitate to energetically upgrade their buildings. A decline in the funding could increase this hesitation, which would result in both economic and ecological consequences.

One of the central challenges is the trust of real estate owners in the long -term goals of the federal government. The promotion of energetic renovation, especially the building envelope - this includes insulation and windows - is crucial for the strengthening of the German construction industry. Hinrichs emphasizes that a relocation of capacities from the new building into the renovation area not only ensures jobs, but also boosts the internal economy.

The effects of the planned fund cuts can be far -reaching. If trust in funding policy disappears, this can significantly affect the willingness of the owners to invest in energetic renovations. In order to achieve a climate -neutral building stock, it is essential that the available funds are used strategically and transparently.

The situation requires increased attention to promoting energetic renovation. Inner European trends show that sustainable investments in the building infrastructure are not only economically sensible, but also contribute to achieving the climate goals. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the Federal Government maintains its commitment to the energy -efficient renovation and provides the necessary financial resources.
