ᐅ KfW70 now only possible with a heat pump?

Hello everyone,
a few months ago, we had an initial meeting with a construction manager/developer. Together, we discussed a KfW70 standard house (for funding reasons) with a gas boiler and solar thermal system. It was said to be no problem.

Yesterday, the statement came from the responsible architect, who is also officially listed as a KfW consultant (see KfW website), that her program/calculator shows our desired KfW70 house would only be achievable with a heat pump. If we still want a gas boiler with solar thermal, we would need to make some "adjustments" to the windows (something to do with noble gas filling).

I always thought a KfW70 house consumes only 70% of the energy of a reference house, which, in my understanding, is reflected in the insulation. Are the heating systems also compared in their specific energy consumption?

1.9% interest fixed for 10 years? Wow! 90% loan-to-value?

Our architect and KfW consultant plans, submits applications, and supervises or carries out the inspections. (Everything from a single source)

And then tells you that the conditions for gas and solar have been "quietly" changed, very reassuring...

70% loan-to-value. 1.76% per year.
Kfw70 subsidy ends only in April. Until then, no problem as long as the building permit / planning permission application is submitted.

The additional €240 per year is not solely due to the higher interest rate; a higher repayment amount must also be involved. 1.76% effective per annum sounds better.

@SirSydom
I’m the one asking the question. :-)
Gas plus solar or air-to-water heat pump?

I don’t understand the question now.
