ClimateHouse Nature
Criteria for sustainable building
Is an energy efficient house also sustainable?
The ClimateHouse nature evaluation answers this question. The ClimateHouse agency focuses on influences of the environment and has developed an evaluation method. The energy requirements for living are still the central issue, but in addition the energy used for building materials will be evaluated.
You have to keep in mind, that by building one square meter of a house, a ton of CO2 will be emitted. There is an enormous potential to reduce energy already during construction: choosing the right strategy is a must!
Would building without the use of insulating material be a solution?
It would decrease the energy for production, but later, of course, more heating energy will be used in the house without insulation. Using the ClimateHouse nature every constructor can evaluate the sustainability of the building.
You can find technical guidance to reach the ClimateHouse nature in our technical bulletin.
The request for certification of the building can be downloaded here.
