Energy certificate
The energy certificate is a document that evaluates the energy efficiency of a building and makes it transparent for potential buyers or tenants.
Air conditioning
An air conditioning system regulates the room temperature and humidity to ensure a comfortable indoor climate. In tiny houses, air conditioning can help control the indoor climate at high temperatures.
Facade design
Facade design involves the external appearance of a building, including the choice of materials, colors and textures. In modular and tiny houses, the facade design influences the aesthetic impression and energy efficiency. Innovative facade designs not only improve the appearance, but also insulation and protection from the weather.
Timber frame construction
Timber frame construction is a construction method that involves creating a framework of timber frames onto which walls, floors and roofs are then mounted. This method is particularly popular with modular and tiny houses because it is lightweight, cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Timber frame construction enables quick and flexible adaptation of the construction method to [...]
Home automation
Home automation refers to the integration of smart technologies to control household functions such as lighting, heating and security systems. In modular and tiny houses, home automation can help to use space more efficiently, save energy and increase living comfort.
Heating systems
Heating systems are technologies used to heat living spaces. Various heating systems can be used in modular and tiny houses, including electric heaters, underfloor heating, wood stoves, pellet stoves, infrared heaters or environmentally friendly air heat pumps. The choice of heating system depends on individual needs and desired energy consumption.
Just-in-time construction
Just-in-time construction is a method in which materials and components are delivered exactly when they are needed. This minimizes storage costs and ensures an efficient construction process, which is particularly advantageous when producing modular and tiny houses as it speeds up the entire construction process.
What is the EH55 efficiency standard?
The EH55 efficiency standard states that a building only uses 55% of the energy of a GEG reference building. New buildings must therefore be particularly energy efficient, e.g. B. through better thermal insulation, modern heating technology and the use of renewable energies such as solar or heat pump technology.
What is the Building Energy Act (GEG) 2023?
The Building Energy Act (GEG) 2023 regulates requirements for the energy efficiency of buildings. This is intended to promote the use of renewable energy and minimize the energy consumption of houses and buildings.
What legal requirements does a modular house have to meet?
Modular houses that are permanently inhabited require a building permit in Germany. The responsible building authority will inform you whether the construction of a modular house is permitted for your property. Furthermore, it will be clarified whether the local development plan allows the construction of a modular house.
