ArgitopIA - stock.adobe.comHow much CO2 emissions does housing cause? – The path to a climate-neutral building stock
Germany can only become climate-neutral by 2045 if the building sector also significantly reduces its CO2 emissions. The existing building stock is crucial. It's not just about large-scale renovations, but also about how we supply homes with electricity and heat, and how we measure, interpret, and optimize consumption. Only in this way can residents be made more aware of the importance of using resources sparingly. Digitalization provides us with the right tool for this. Energy efficiency not only saves greenhouse gases, it also increases the value of a property. At the same time, fossil fuels are declining, while renewable energies are increasingly gaining ground, as is electromobility.
To take concrete steps, it's essential to first understand the CO2 emissions generated by the building sector and residential living. Using our model home as an example, we provide specific figures. The goal is to gradually move towards climate neutrality through digital consumption monitoring, photovoltaics, tenant electricity concepts, and electromobility. We also present the latest legal developments regarding heating cost billing and explain how to correctly implement heat pump billing.
For every sector to achieve its climate protection goals, all stakeholders must collaborate across sectors. We offer solutions that support precisely this collaboration, guiding you on your path to a climate-neutral building.
We hope you find it an informative read!
