Energy optimization in existing and new buildings
On the way to achieving this goal, sustainable energy-saving measures need to be established in all areas of the economy and industry, including the construction industry.
In Germany, buildings continue to consume a large proportion of primary energy.
Heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting – energy consumption is often inefficient and systems are outdated.
However, there is enormous potential for energy savings in the construction industry and in buildings, because where a lot is consumed, a lot can be saved.
In order to gradually move both existing and new buildings towards climate neutrality, energy guzzlers need to be identified and systems need to be replaced and adapted.
Incorrect settings or leaks in systems can also be the cause of increased energy consumption.
These errors are identified and rectified in the energy optimization process.
Successful energy management and long-term energy optimization not only saves costs, but also conserves resources.
Tools for energy optimization
In order to identify and implement energy optimization measures, the status quo must first be determined.
The energy performance certificate or detailed energy simulations, among other things, help to classify the energy consumption and energy efficiency of a building.
For companies of a certain size, it is also a legal requirement to carry out an energy audit to determine energy efficiency.
In principle, the following steps are necessary for the energy optimization of buildings:
- Analysis of current electricity and heat consumption
- Testing the efficiency of electrical systems
- Recommendation of measures and optimization potentials
- Implementing the measures
Funding for greater energy efficiency
Energy costs can be reduced and energy efficiency increased through analysis and, if necessary, the implementation of modern systems.
The implementation of such measures can be subsidized by KfW, for example.
The “Energy-efficient refurbishment” and “Energy-efficient construction” programs cover both conversions and new buildings, making it easier to implement the measures and achieve a climate-neutral building stock.
Possible measures are
- passive cooling as a replacement for air conditioning,
- intelligent timer programs for lighting,
- modern and needs-based control for systems,
- Reduce operating costs through heat recovery.
We support you in selecting the right tools to map the energy consumption of your building and optimize it in the long term.
We also prepare KfW applications for your commercial and residential properties.
