Hello
If I buy an old house that does not meet the energy-saving regulations according to the old standards, I understand that I am legally required to carry out compulsory renovation/insulation work on the house.
Can I avoid this if I do not have a heating system in the house or make it irreversibly unusable, so that I basically live without heating energy in the house throughout the entire year?
Does it make a difference if I then have a stove or a fireplace in just one room, or is that not allowed either?
Kind regards

There is no obligation to renovate! It should be in your own interest to carry out certain measures that cost little but offer substantial benefits. What good does giving up heating do, other than freezing your backside off?
With your current level of knowledge, you should first gather basic information before spending so much money.

How much forest are you willing to clear just to keep the house warm?
The energy saving regulations don’t focus solely on whether you use heating or not, but rather on heating systems in general, consumption, energy loss, and energy production.
What’s the point of not using oil or gas for heating if your consumption is too high due to excessive energy loss? To heat the apartment to the same temperature with electricity or wood, you need to supply the same amount of energy (in whichever form). And it seems you don’t have much money if it’s not enough for renovation.
The idea itself is simply laughable.
Complete nonsense.
... And don’t forget to leave the refrigerator door open in summer so the apartment doesn’t get too warm.

The original poster should consult an energy advisor to clarify the obligations!
