High electricity and heating bills are prompting property owners to invest in their buildings. But how can homeowners minimize energy use to avoid high energy bills? According to the German Window + Façade Association (VFF), the building envelope plays a particularly important role alongside the heating system in order to achieve solar gains.
An efficient building envelope helps to reduce heating requirements in the cold season. Integrated modern thermal insulation windows and well renovated windows and doors make it possible to minimize heat loss. Incidentally, the installation of new windows and doors can be subsidized by the state.
Effective sun protection should also be taken into account during the planning stage to prevent rooms from overheating in summer. Solutions such as roller shutters, external venetian blinds or textile screens can be used.
