Roettgerstrasse, Hanover

Description

The energetic modernization of this building with high-efficient passive house components was realized such consequently, that the passive house standard with a thermal heat demand of just 15 kWh/(m²a) was achieved. The exterior walls were awfully good insulated and thermal bridges minimized as much as possible. Valuable passive house windows ensure highest living comfort. Each apartment is provided with an own ventilation system with heat recovery functions, space heating is implemented via supply air. The old heat distribution system, which is extremely overdesigned for the new energy standard, is no longer requisite. Just the bathrooms are equipped with a single hand towel heating element for reasons of comfort.
