Hello everyone,
I am currently considering building a duplex and am looking for ideas on how it could or should be constructed to ensure a sustainable building in the long term. Of course, it also has to remain affordable.
On the internet and from building planners, you often hear that "this particular method" is the best, depending on the preferences of the contact person. Perhaps someone here can share how they built theirs or what could be done better or differently, so I can get a clearer picture for myself.
Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to help!
Best regards,
Dirk78

This is all still in the planning stage. But existing properties currently cost an “insane“ amount of money here. (Vacant lots unfortunately as well)
* there are certainly other regions/prices around the world Let me sum it up for you. If you can’t or don’t want to afford an existing property in your area, then you also won’t be able to afford a new build, because building new plus buying land is more expensive than buying an existing property in the same region.
Don’t take it the wrong way, but I suspect this thread is a waste of time, especially considering the KfW topic or even a passive house.
Thank you, Zaba, for taking the time here... you definitely shouldn’t waste it for my sake!
It's about achieving the lowest possible energy consumption in living. And I don’t see any affordable way to adapt an existing building to meet my expectations.
Photovoltaic or solar thermal systems can also be added, for example. But not just to make the numbers look better...
If anyone sees a reason to help me gather information, I would be grateful for any assistance.

What exactly is your plan, roughly speaking, once you have all the information together?

I see it similarly to buying a car. Before I get rid of my old "polluter," which then continues to emit fine dust in the east, and choose a "clean" one manufactured with a lot of electricity, CO2, and other resources, I’d rather keep driving the old car...

If you add sustainability regarding the materials used, it becomes even more expensive.
And economic efficiency is often clearly set aside. You end up spending a lot of money for peace of mind.
