New shine for the Neanderthal Museum: Facade with photovoltaics opened!
Today, on January 23, 2025, the new facade of the Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann was officially presented. This innovative facade, which is made of matt greenish facade glass, integrates photovoltaic modules for electricity generation. This measure not only refreshes the optics of the museum, but at the same time increases the energy efficiency of the building, which contributes to reducing the energy requirement. The original design and geometry of the museum was fully preserved, which preserves the aesthetic value of the historical building.
The renovation costs amount to around 4.1 million euros, of which around 3.9 million euros come from funding-supported by the federal, state, district and the NRW Foundation. This funding is part of a broader initiative to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings, which is dealt with via
funding programs and their importance
The renovation of the Neanderthal Museum stands in the context of federal funding for efficient buildings (BEG), which supports renovations for saving energy costs and climate protection. This funding promotes individual measures on existing buildings whose building application was at least five years ago and is available for various building types such as residential buildings and care facilities. Owners can apply for measures such as the insulation of the building envelope or the renewal of windows and outer doors. bafa.de provides detailed information on the various funding opportunities.
The application for funding measures requires cooperation with an energy efficiency expert. This creates a technical project description and supports the applicants in the process. The basic funding rate is currently 15 % of the eligible expenses, whereby the maximum limit for energy measures is increased at 30,000 euros per residential unit or 60,000 euros if an individual renovation timetable (ISFP) is observed.
Overall, the renovation of the Neanderthal Museum represents a significant step towards more sustainable and efficient energy use. By implementing photovoltaic technologies and improving thermal insulation, the museum not only makes a contribution to climate protection, but also sets a sign of the importance of innovative renovation measures in monument preservation.
