Hello, we are planning to build a single-family house on our own......
Planned size 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft) without a basement, gable roof with raised knee wall.
To achieve KfW 55 standard, my understanding is that a U-value of 0.20 is required. How can I most cost-effectively achieve this with a single-layer wall of 365mm (14 inches) thickness? Noise protection can largely be neglected.
Regards from Franconia

An energy-efficient new building requires thorough professional planning and qualified supervision during construction. As part of the planning, application, and implementation of a subsidized project, an expert is required to support the homeowner.

Since I am building without financing, the 'KfW rating' doesn't matter to me.
Please don’t skim through the textT
theoretiker24 May 2016 16:20I’m going to start looking into this... I know a chimney sweep who is also an energy consultant, maybe he can help or recommend a building planner or something like that. I don’t want an architect... it should be a simple rectangular house with nothing else.
When exactly does unregistered work (working off the books) begin in house construction? I’m from a rural area and know many school friends who are masons and plasterers who have offered to help me. But I also want to show my appreciation...
