Renovation offensive: Bonn and Rhein-Sieg district are fighting for millions!
In times when environmental protection is becoming increasingly important, many municipalities are faced with the challenge of modernizing their housing stock. A current analysis of the Federal Association of German Building Materials shows that there is an urgent need for action in Bonn and the Rhein-Sieg district. Almost 60 percent of all apartments in the region are older than 45 years and are far from being state-of-the-art when it comes to energy efficiency, heating and water.
The costs for a comprehensive energy-related renovation are not without their costs: in Bonn, around 500 million euros are required annually, while in the Rhein-Sieg district, over 1 billion euros are estimated. This renovation work is necessary and should extend over a period of at least 20 years. It pays off for the owners to think about appropriate measures in good time.
Use potential for savings
In order to help owners and investors with this important task, the KfW offers a helpful platform with its renovation calculator. This enables a precise inventory of the energy weak points of a property. Energy efficiency experts develop individual proposals to eliminate these deficiencies. Not only are the expected costs listed in detail, but also suitable grants and loans.
After the decision has been made for specific renovation measures, craft businesses can be contacted to obtain offers. Whether it's a roof renovation or facade insulation - experts are available to support owners in planning and implementing their projects. If you would like to take a closer look at the individual offers, you can also rely on the expertise of these specialists if necessary.
In view of the high renovation costs and the technical backwardness of older apartments, it is advisable for all owners to take action. The importance of energy-efficient renovation will increase in the coming years, not only for ecological but also for economic reasons. By planning early and making the right decisions, you can not only modernize your own four walls, but also make a contribution to environmental protection.
