Hello,
has anyone examined the alternative verification of a KfW Efficiency House 55 based on reference values, which will come into effect from April 2016? Reference values are given to achieve a KfW 55 house:
Roof surfaces, top floor ceiling, dormers U ≤ 0.14 W/(m²·K)
Windows and other transparent components Uw ≤ 0.90 W/(m²·K)
Exterior walls, floor ceilings facing the outside air U ≤ 0.20 W/(m²·K)
However, the U-values do not seem very good to me, especially since the requirements will be tightened again by 20–25% in 2016 and rather correspond to the current KfW 40 standard. In my opinion, the U-values of a current KfW 40 house are considerably better.
I would appreciate your opinions. Thank you.
Best regards

Next year, you don’t have to build a house according to the KfW70 standard, but rather one that complies with the new energy-saving regulations. Similar, but not the same.
KfW55 remains KfW55 in terms of requirements, but the subsidies will be reduced (no more repayment grants).

Sir Sydom....
That is not correct.
The subsidy is actually doubled.
Instead of 2.5%, now 5% with double the loan amount. 100,000 instead of 50,000€
