ᐅ Insulating a Sand-Lime Brick Wall / Upgrading the Construction for Energy Efficiency

Hello everyone,

Our house is built with calcium silicate brick walls and glass (a shoutout to the 70s).

Now, as part of the renovation, we want to improve the energy efficiency of the walls (unfortunately, this can only be done from the inside). What would be a sensible approach, and what should we pay attention to?

Currently, there are wooden chipboards screwed onto the walls, which will be removed first. The electrical wiring will then be surface mounted, and after that, insulation will be added in front of it.

Thanks and best regards, Claudia

Energy Saving Regulation § 10 Retrofit Requirements for Systems and Buildings

For residential buildings with no more than two apartments, where the owner has lived in one of the apartments as of February 1, 2002, the obligations under paragraphs 1 to 3 only apply to a new owner in the event of a change of ownership after February 1, 2002. The deadline to fulfill these obligations is two years from the date of the first transfer of ownership.

Additionally, depending on the renovation components (e.g., new windows), these must also comply with the current energy saving regulation.

Or, for example, if you are renovating the roof...

Mhh, so the owner has never lived in the property... but that’s a sentence you have to read several times to understand.
Now I don’t know how this will affect things.

The roof is new, and we even still have some remaining warranty on it. The windows have been reglazed (meaning only the glass panes were replaced, the frames stayed the same). Generally, I think that should cover it for now?! (I hope so) We have not received any requirements or conditions from any party.
