Abstract:
This paper analyses the development of the concept of the efficiency house. It is categorised within the current concept of sustainability, which is explained beforehand using various political and scientific approaches. In addition, the extension of the understanding of efficiency houses from operation to the entire life cycle is discussed. As part of this study, three building designs are created, each of which is intended to represent a level of sustainability. The first example fulfils the requirements of the legislator and the second the requirements of the KfW subsidy for new single-family homes. The third variant identifies and implements optimisation potential. The focus here is on ecological aspects, whereby economic and social factors are also taken into account. The analysis and comparison of the data show that further ecological improvements can be achieved with the innovative systems presented compared to the current efficiency house standard. The additional financial investment required at the outset is amortised over the life cycle of the building.
