Hello,
we would like to build a multi-family house for rental purposes.
Since the property is located on a main road and I want to avoid follow-up costs for the facade, I would prefer to use brick cladding.
However, we are also quite certain that we want to build according to KfW 40 Plus standards.
Is energy-efficient construction compatible with brick cladding?
Are there any experiences regarding how much more expensive brick cladding is compared to plaster in percentage terms?
Thank you!

Hello,
I agree that it can definitely be cost-effective. As mentioned before, thermal insulation is usually not an issue with multi-family houses since the ratio of living area to exterior surface is significantly better than with single-family homes.
A repayment subsidy of 6-9 times 15,000 euros (approximately 6-9 times $15,000) is already a substantial amount of funding.
If, instead of distributing heat through heating pipes, a brine distribution system is installed in the building and each apartment is equipped with its own heat pump for domestic hot water and heating, there is an additional BAFA subsidy of 6-9 times 5,000 euros (6-9 times $5,000). When using the building efficiency bonus, this is multiplied by 0.5.
Another advantage: the system operates through the tenant’s electricity meter.

A medical practice will be located on the ground floor, which would definitely use the electricity.However, they do not own the photovoltaic system. This means that as the operator, you would have to sell the electricity to them. According to my current understanding, this would include, among other things, charging the full Renewable Energy Act surcharge, which, combined with all other costs and taxes, would simply make the electricity unattractive for the consumer.You will likely only receive subsidies for all residential units if all units are connected to the photovoltaic system and battery storage. This implies at least a mandatory usage requirement, and there will probably also be minimum size requirements for both the photovoltaic system and the storage.
I have no experience with the electrical wiring involving separate meters for billing between the residential units, but I imagine it is quite complicated.
