Civil engineer Ronald Meyer has developed a refurbishment sprint that quickly makes old buildings climate-neutral. In just four weeks, a semi-detached house in Hamburg built in 1963 was completely refurbished in this way to become a KfW Efficiency House 70. This speed is possible thanks to optimized planning and parallel work by different tradesmen. Ronald Meyer's method could significantly increase the refurbishment rate. It is therefore a model that could set a precedent throughout Germany.
The advantages of the refurbishment sprint lie in the increased productivity and the ability to realize more projects with existing specialists. By working in parallel, the exchange and team spirit among employees can be improved. In addition, this method can reduce the cost of energy-saving refurbishment of a single-family home by up to 20 percent.
The renovation sprint requires political support and open-minded homeowners in order to be implemented across the board. The approach enables faster, efficient implementation of climate targets in the building sector and offers an alternative to the slower and more costly conventional refurbishment method. The client of the "refurbishment sprint" is "Agora Energiewende". In addition to the civil engineering firm Ronald Meyer, the German Business Initiative for Energy Efficiency and the University of Stuttgart are also involved.
