ᐅ How can you bypass energy-saving regulations and avoid bureaucratic hassle?

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to build without following the energy saving regulations?
I want to avoid unnecessary insulation and similar measures. At the same time, I want to maintain the great indoor climate that exists in this building from 1959.
Although it was barely insulated, the house remains completely dry and the indoor climate is excellent.
I am planning to build an extension that fits this outstanding indoor climate. All these modern insulation methods are not helpful in this case.
Does anyone have some kind of exemption from the energy saving regulation and can share how they obtained it?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Hello 77.willo,
Even with the same temperature and relative humidity, I believe I can still tell whether I am standing in an air raid shelter or a barn. This has relatively little to do with esoteric beliefs. Several factors come into play, not just temperature and humidity. Again, which factors are those supposed to be?

And even if we assume that it feels completely identical — the "native house" and the "energy saving regulation house".
Why should I then spend tens of thousands of euros more for the same result/feeling? Because the primary energy consumption for heating is significantly lower.

Is it significant enough that the investment pays off in a few years?
...The primary goal is not your wallet, but climate protection.
Will you answer my questions now?
It’s unfortunate that you’re already bringing up the "climate protection card," which is quite debatable in this context. No one here in the forum really has the time to engage in written debates about things that can’t be conclusively proven. Moreover, this climate discussion seems endless. Arguments like "Where does it start and where does it end?" or "How climate-friendly are your toilets, computers, TVs, building materials, cars, clothes, etc.?" quickly come up. So, in my view, this becomes irrelevant when talking about what is "primary."
In this specific case, the primary concern for us/me is a good "climate/feeling" at a reasonable price.
Regarding your question: well, more than just temperature and humidity. For example, noise, reverberation, tactile feel, aesthetics, and so on...
Personally, I also don’t really like walking past a 60cm (24 inches) thick wall at the house entrance. But I don’t want to overemphasize that.

Roof insulation, if not already installed, pays off quite quickly. With own labor in 3-4 years.
Oh, okay. I’ll have to calculate that.
Where can I get information about how roof insulation might affect the house characteristics? I mean, I don’t want to start insulating a dry roof and then end up with mold and high costs.
