Hello,
what are your thoughts on the pros and cons of building with a T9, 30cm (12 inches), Uw=0.28? (T9 36.5cm (14 inches) Uw=0.23 || T10 36.5cm (14 inches) Uw=0.25)
This should be sufficient to meet the 2014 energy saving regulation.
I keep hearing from all sides that “this wouldn’t be standard.” Of course, a better (more expensive) block is always better ... but then I would have to take the best block on the market. There has to be a limit to “cost-effectiveness” somewhere.

Well, it’s not just that a brick protects against the cold. No, it also helps keep the interior cool during the summer, and in that case, thicker is definitely better.
And I actually don’t know anyone who has used only a 30cm (12 inches) brick without insulation.
We ourselves used the T9 with 36.5cm (14.4 inches) thickness and, combined with an air-to-water heat pump, even achieve KfW 70 standards.
Also, think about the resale value: nowadays, people place great importance on a house with good insulation values. And yes, it’s true—you can choose the most expensive options, but the question is what is still cost-effective. In my opinion, at least KfW 70 level is definitely worthwhile.
