ᐅ KfW 55 according to the new Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV)

Hello everyone,

Since we will probably be able to purchase a plot of land next year, we plan to have more discussions with construction companies over the coming weeks.

After reading various topics here, we are wondering what the best approach is to achieve the KFW 55 standard.

The background is that through the KFW standard, we can obtain very well-subsidized loans from the Saxon Development Bank (SAB).

Our main requirement is a controlled ventilation system, which we know from friends, and since we cannot or do not want to ventilate daily, the additional investment is worth it to us.

We honestly don’t mind whether we choose a gas condensing boiler or a ground-source heat pump; it should simply be the most cost-effective option in the overall investment package.

We are a family of four (ages 30, 30, 3, 4 weeks) and want to build around 140–150m2 (1500–1600 sq ft), including a home office for my wife. The plot is about 900m2 (9700 sq ft) and fully south-facing.

If any further information or conditions are needed, please let me know.

Thank you
Goldi

Currently, we are aiming for something like a townhouse or a two full-story house, which according to the current zoning plan is not allowed. This will be clarified in the next few weeks through the district building authority. However, I could also be comfortable with a standard one-story house with a pitched roof.

As an alternative, you could also consider a “single-story” townhouse or a staggered floor design. That was our situation. We are now building a townhouse with an extension on one corner, but we have also seen some very nice designs with extensions on two sides. That’s quite rare, but if the design is good, we actually find it more attractive than a classic, completely straight townhouse.

Could you send me a sample image?

I’m not allowed to share that further. But try searching for Bien-Zenker Evolution 154 v11. That’s what something like this could look like. Unfortunately, our general contractor’s catalog is not fully available online.

Ok, I’ll take a look at that then.

What are your experiences—do many heating installers use surface collectors or trench collectors? Is it possible to contribute with self-performed work in these cases?
