Hello everyone,
During the planning phase of building a house, you inevitably come across forums about home construction and topics related to energy standards. I have already read several books and browsed various websites on the subject. I should mention that I am not a professional in this field. What I have noticed is that the entire topic of "economic / ecological home construction" is heavily influenced by commercial interests. The so-called "smart" consumer is often misled by marketing terms and a government-led campaign for "CO2-efficient building." Books or websites dealing with this subject often do not provide clear, comprehensive assessments.
In the "better" literature, insulation materials are compared in terms of insulation value and whether they are expensive or affordable. However, I still cannot determine what makes the most sense for my individual case. I simply do not want to spend excessive amounts of money, especially on things that do not add value, such as polystyrene insulation. If additional costs for a particular heating system are reasonable over a feasible period, then yes.
Our current goal is to build a simple single-family home with about 130 - 140 sqm (1400 - 1500 sq ft). The house should cost around €200,000 (without outdoor landscaping, floor coverings, land, or additional construction-related costs; our expectations are modest).
I am interested in knowing, based on the current state of technology, what is the most energy-efficient and cost-effective building option?
Energy-saving regulation / building standards according to KfW, yes or no, and if yes, which level?
Solid construction or prefabricated house?
Condensing boiler technology or heat pump?
Thank you very much for your answers!
Best regards

immobilienscout24.de/expose/84233839#/Oh man. This is a bait offer typical across Germany. It has nothing to do with a real, existing, and livable house. Nor does it relate to your region at all.
Just take a look at the floor plans. First, there is a 90sqm (970 sq ft) bungalow. Even that, including the plot, is a stretch at that price...

winnetou787 Aug 2017 21:47At least take the trouble to read the last posts.
These houses are currently being built or already stand here in the development area.
And yes, the 226,000 is the price including the land.
But never mind, I seem to be imagining things.
Of course, if you want more features, you can still expect to pay extra.

chand19867 Aug 2017 21:52226k for what exactly? Are floors, ceilings, and plumbing included? How many square meters (square feet) again? Is a garage or carport included?
Is everything finished, or is there still work to be done? If so, what?

A friend of mine is building one, and about 5,000 EUR more were added for things like electrical outlets, different tiles, and so on.
That alone is already quite inaccurate. The listing description explicitly points out that all additional construction-related costs will also apply.

winnetou787 Aug 2017 21:58Yes, of course they are included, no one ever said otherwise.
They are also included with my bungalow.
We are talking about the total house price including the land in this case.
You are twisting everything now.
