In the future - generate energy yourself

One promising measure that has already been introduced in some regions and will follow in many federal states is the solar roof requirement for new buildings. This initiative aims to promote the integration of solar energy into building infrastructure and reduce the use of fossil fuels.

‍

An overview of the solar roof requirement:

The solar roof requirement requires that all new construction projects must be equipped with photovoltaic or solar thermal systems. These plants should help to increase self-consumption of renewable energy and reduce the need for conventional energy sources. The exact requirements may vary by region, but the main goal remains to promote sustainable energy generation.

‍

Environmental Impacts:

Implementing the solar roof requirement has potentially positive effects on the environment. By making increased use of solar energy, we can reduce our carbon footprint and make an important contribution to climate protection. The transition to renewable energy in the construction sector is a step towards sustainability and contributes to the global energy revolution.

Thanks to our regional timber construction in EH40-QNG quality, we not only use environmentally friendly building materials, but also strive for almost CO2-free emissions during production and construction. Compared to an average house, which is polluted with around 459 kg CO2 per m² of gross area, our ecological standard is only around 66 kg CO2 per m². And generating your own energy will quickly reduce this already quite small CO2 footprint — to CO2 ZERO.

This underscores our commitment to sustainable construction and reducing environmental impact.

‍

Economic aspects:

A frequently discussed issue regarding the solar roof requirement concerns the economic impact on the construction industry. Proponents argue that increased demand for solar technologies creates new business opportunities and can lower prices for solar components in the long term. On the other hand, some are raising concerns about the additional costs for builders, which could potentially be carried over to house prices.

However, funding programs cushion this on the one hand and through the self-consumption of the generated electricity, the plant pays off in the long term, as these electricity costs are saved. There is also the option of a so-called feed-in tariff for electricity that your system transfers to the public power grid.

‍

Conclusion:

The solar roof requirement for new buildings marks an important step towards more sustainable construction and living because it is independent, cheaper and more environmentally friendly. By increasing the use of solar energy, countries can push ahead with their climate goals and at the same time create new opportunities for the green economy.

We see ourselves as pioneers in CO2-free residential development and strive to expand our influence beyond individual projects. By serializing our residential and accommodation products, we want to set standards and contribute to a livable and sustainable future together with residents, employers, property owners and construction companies.
