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

Thank you, Zaba, for taking the time here...you definitely shouldn’t feel like you’re wasting it for me!!
It’s about achieving the lowest possible energy consumption for living. And I don’t see any way to make an existing building affordable in the way I imagine.
Photovoltaics or solar thermal systems can be added, for example. But not just to make the calculations look good...
If anyone sees a reason to help me gather information, I would be grateful for any assistance. My question was simple and clear. How much can and do you want to spend on your dream house, and what are the prices for land in your area?
Now you’ve already read from someone else that existing buildings are cheaper than new construction!

Now you’ve already read from someone else that existing buildings are cheaper than new constructions!I can spend a maximum of about 600,000. But I don’t want to. About 30% of that will go toward the plot of land.
Now I’m curious…

And there I am looking for the interface ... Even if you don’t want to hear it: the interface is the existing building stock, both economically and ecologically. Half of the total energy-related construction costs are already invested in the structural shell alone.
Or are you missing the social aspect of sustainable building here? A new build naturally reflects a different social status than simply buying an existing property.

chand19868 Oct 2018 15:40Here is some information: Building a new house costs around €2000 per square meter, plus the price of the land, at least that amount plus property transfer tax.
Add additional construction-related costs. Add a possible basement. Add a possible garage or carport. And this is not for a high-end finish but a very average one. Anything that improves energy savings drives the price up. But it does not make it more ecological or sustainable.
All this marketing about new builds being super airtight and efficient, preferably heated with renewable raw materials, is just nonsense from people making money with pseudo-green claims.
- Building new is always less ecological than buying an existing property, even if it is a passive house.
- The extra insulation materials also have to be manufactured first, which consumes energy.
- If there is any such thing as ecological heating, it is solar and heat pumps. But not wood or other renewable materials. That’s where the fundamental misunderstanding lies.
But whether this information is useful depends on knowing land prices in your area, your budget, what existing properties cost, and what condition they are in.
:Edit: Oh, the budget question was answered while I was writing.
