Energy-efficient building refurbishment

Find out more about energy-efficient building refurbishment and how you can get advice.

Buildings account for a large proportion of our CO2 emissions. In addition, comfort and living standards in inadequately insulated buildings with poor thermal insulation are often poor, as they heat up significantly in summer and cool down significantly in winter. Unpleasant cold feet or draughts in winter on the one hand, and severely overheated interiors in summer on the other, are therefore not uncommon.

A comprehensive energy-efficient renovation leads to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and also saves money in the medium term. Comfort and living standards are also significantly improved. Last but not least, you also become less dependent on future price increases for fossil fuels and rising CO2 pricing in the future.

Whether it's building insulation, new windows, or replacing your heating system, the issues surrounding energy-efficient building renovation are complex. The good news is that you are not alone. Seek advice from experts. The state capital of Mainz, in cooperation with the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Advice Center, also supports you on your way to energy-efficient building renovation. You can find more information on this on the following pages.
