Saving energy easy: online seminar on house renovation!

As part of its information offers on energy-related renovation options, the Consumer Center in North Rhine-Westphalia, in cooperation with the Borken climate rice, carries out a free online seminar. On March 5, 2025 at 6 p.m. Reinhard Loch give a lecture with the topic "Renientate energetically - from the basement to the roof". The lecture will cover various aspects of energetic modernization, including measures, materials, components, systems, costs and grants. Interested parties are asked to call up their access data for the online lecture on the website of the consumer center NRW: www.vergveruserzentrale .

The monthly online seminars offer a wide range of topics that range from photovoltaics to heating renewal to heat protection and heavy rain prevention. In 2025, special attention is paid to energy saving and climate adaptation to meet the challenges of climate change and to reduce CO2 emissions. The topic is particularly relevant because a significant part of the fossil energies in the building stock is used for heat and hot water production, which leads to high CO2 emissions. This brings the need to check alternative and eligible heating methods for private residential building owners.

online seminars to promote

In addition to the seminar by Dr. Loch takes place another online seminar on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., which is aimed specifically at private building owners: inside. This seminar offers an overview of funding and the technical framework of energy renovation. It is explained how building owners can be financially relieved by supporting the federal government, the states and municipalities of energy saving measures. Registration for this course has been possible since January 6, 2025 on the website of vhs Bochum

The "funding jungle", which often represents a hurdle when applying for funding, is examined in this seminar with a specific contact: inside that can help with the application. It is a central concern of these events to offer the participants: to offer all the necessary information and assistance inside in order to make the energetic renovation of their buildings efficiently and financially.

renovation bonus for inefficient buildings

An important aspect of funding affects the so -called "worst performing buildings" (WPB), which are among the worst 25 percent of buildings in Germany. There has been a renovation bonus for these buildings since 2022. If a renovation is made to at least the efficiency house standard 55, owners can benefit: inside from additional 10 percentage points. In order to support serial renovation, a bonus of 15 percent was introduced in 2023, which only applies when the efficiency house standard is reached. This form of renovation makes it easier to implement through the use of industrially prefabricated components, which significantly simplifies the construction processes.

Energy counseling is an essential part of the renovation process and is also promoted. Since each building has individual requirements, professional advice is crucial for the success of energetic modernization.
