with a focus on solar energy, neighbourhood concepts and funding
The BUND yearbook Ökologisch Bauen & Renovieren (Ecological Building and Renovation) published by the Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland (BUND) helps by making owners fit for discussions with the house bank, architect, energy consultant and craftsmen. The guidebook, which will be available from November, shows what can be done and how: Based on numerous house portraits, the annual compendium helps the reader to find out which measures, building materials and technologies are most suitable for their own project.
Written in an understandable way and clearly presented, with many examples and suggestions, the 244-page "BUND Yearbook 2019 - Ecological Building and Renovation" offers an all-round service for builders and renovators. The booklet offers six topics: basics/planning, model houses, green around the house, building envelope, building services and interior design. Furthermore, state funding opportunities are presented. With in the focus this time quarter concepts for less surface consumption and more togetherness stand. In addition, long-term experience with solar thermal energy and innovations in photovoltaics and solar power storage.
sdg21 comment: There is no comparable publication for the low costs. For this one must accept that a not insignificant part is occupied by advertisements, which are however thematically relevant. Strongly contradictory is however the request of the BUND to reduce the surface consumption, but then in the booklet almost throughout only examples of single-family houses to show. The few sustainable quarters, multi-storey residential buildings or housing estates are almost lost. The title "Neighborhood Concepts" promises more than the publication actually delivers.
