The new study "Additional cost efficiency of alternative Zero Emission Building (ZEB) definitions" by Prof. Dr. Nikolas Müller from EBS University in Oestrich-Winkel shows, according to the German Housing Industry Association GdW, that in order to achieve the climate targets in the residential building sector, "it is important that measures with the best cost-benefit ratio are made possible across the board".
According to the study, a low-temperature ZEB is more cost-effective than Efficiency House 55 ('EH 55') and therefore increases the chances of achieving the climate targets. In addition to a rethink, the GdW is calling on the German government to make the implementation of the new European Buildings Directive (EPBD) in Germany particularly socially responsible.
The aim must be to achieve the EU's climate targets by building affordable zero-emission buildings without increasing the financial burden on low- and middle-income tenants. The GdW also emphasizes the importance of using the available financial resources efficiently.
