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

What kind of additional cost per square meter of wall should one expect?

I would say it is always worth it. When discussing extra costs, one should keep in mind that people who don’t like certain methods or materials often quote discouraging prices, so the client prefers to choose standard options instead.

I wouldn’t wallpaper clay plaster, as that would diminish its distinctive effect.

Gypsum plaster costs around 10-13 per square meter. For clay plaster, that’s almost just the raw material price—so you can expect about 100% higher costs. Clay plaster is typically used only in very old, historic buildings under preservation orders or by enthusiasts committed to traditional methods. The paints required are also about twice as expensive as standard wall paints. This type of plaster is not very suitable for bathrooms, as it does not tolerate prolonged moisture well. It is also somewhat challenging to tile over.

Get advice from professionals on this. There are certainly companies in your area who specialize in these materials.

In 2012, we renovated the interior of a building over 750 years old using this plaster and these paints. The result was excellent and very pleasant indoors. There was no longer any musty or moldy smell, and the air felt noticeably fresh and clean. However, the cost was significant. It involved removing and sandblasting the old lime-cement plaster from previous renovations, stripping dispersion paints where the old plaster was very hard, applying new plaster, a new primer coat, several finishing touches, restoring old doors with Le Tonkinois linseed oil varnish, etc. The total cost was about 340,000 gross. But it was worth it. Karsten

You don't have to treat all rooms the same way, but I would at least prefer clay plaster in the living areas.

Is red lime plaster similarly pleasant for the indoor climate?

Hasn’t anyone noticed yet: 100k for a large plot in or near Hamburg right on the lake + money is no object + he has plenty of time…

And you actually take this guy seriously?

Come on..

Hi Steffen80,

I find it kind of funny that you’re throwing around accusations of jealousy—packaged as “can’t be true, he’s a troll.”
But it’s also a bit sad.

If you ever come to Hamburg, drop by. I assume you’re a funny guy in real life. Maybe with a bit of a personality quirk, but hey… who’s perfect?!

So many people have already posted here that I didn’t even have time to quote everything.
I’ll take my time to read through it all carefully and then might reply.

Anyway, thanks to all of you! It’s really great to see such a good discussion here.

And a bit of off-topic is fine with me, as long as it’s not about Steffen80’s salary or cars again, then I’m okay with it.

By the way, NASA admitted that there is no single image of the entire Earth and that they heavily Photoshop the existing images to make them look the way they do. Just try googling it. So it’s clear that the moon landing pictures, which also show the Earth, are fakes. But this topic is old and has been thoroughly discussed already.

For several weeks/months now, an Asian satellite has taken the first full image of the entire Earth. It can be downloaded online somewhere. (It’s about 400GB (440 US gallons) in size—already compressed).

Okay, enough off-topic LOL

Strange that you, as a new user, know Steffen80 so well [emoji848]

The "LOL" also sounds childish; where do I know that from? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
