Slevogtweg, Hanover

Description

The previous owners have refurbished the 2,5-floor house at the end of the 90s from inside in personal contribution and equipped the exterior walls with a 8 cm thick heat insulation system. The asymmetric gabled roof was situated in its original condition and had a little dormer to the north side. In the course of time, the windows were refurbished as 2-disc-insulating glass with plastic frame. Annual energy need including water heating amounted recently to 260 kWh per m² living space.

The roof truss had to be demolished due to the installation of two large dormers. Thereby, the thermal protection could be optimized by the rebuilding it with boardwalk carriers. In front of the existing exterior wall insulation, a new design in lightweight wood was elevated with larch cladding and anchored to the house. The windows of the south and west facades have been enlarged to French doors to let more light into the rooms. Each window was substituted through new larch wooden windows with heat insulating 3-pane-glazing. The addition was demolished and rebuilt. The heating received a condensing gas boiler witht some solar space heating support. Each floor was equipped with a comfort ventilation system with heat recovery. The basement ceil was insulated from underneath.
