En­ergy ef­fi­ciency is too ex­pens­ive? No way!  

In this lec­ture, a fre­quently men­tioned pre­ju­dice will be thor­oughly cleared up: En­ergy-ef­fi­cient build­ing is too ex­pens­ive! Not at all!

Axel Bret­zke from Bib­er­ach Uni­versity of Ap­plied Sci­en­ces shows that pro­ject par­ti­cipants who settle for lower build­ing ef­fi­ciency not only harm cli­mate pro­tec­tion, but also do them­selves no fa­vors! Ac­cord­ing to Bret­zke, the stat­ist­ics have been show­ing a clear trend for years: en­ergy-ef­fi­cient build­ing has spe­cif­ic­ally lower con­struc­tion costs than build­ing to the leg­al stand­ard. Bull’s eye!
Price driver is not the en­ergy stand­ard of a build­ing, but those are the costs for the land, the build­ing design, the equip­ment, the ac­cess­ib­il­ity, park­ing spaces etc. 
On Sat­urday, Septem­ber 11, 2021 Axel Bret­zke con­trib­utes in ses­sion 5 "En­ergy con­sult­ing in Ger­many" of the 25th In­ter­na­tion­al Pass­ive House Con­fer­en­ce.
