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.
Environmentally friendly materials
Environmentally friendly materials are building materials that are obtained, produced and disposed of sustainably. They have a lower environmental impact and contribute to healthier living environments. Examples include recycled materials, FSC-certified wood and natural insulation materials such as hemp or cellulose. The use of such materials in tiny houses and modular houses promotes sustainable construction [...]
Extended lifespan
Extended service life refers to the measures and techniques aimed at increasing the durability and useful life of a tiny house or modular house. This can be achieved through high quality materials and regular maintenance. An extended lifespan reduces repair and replacement costs and ensures that the investment in the building remains profitable in the [...]
Ecological footprint

Extensibility
Expandability refers to the ability of a modular home to be expanded or modified depending on needs and living situation. Modular design allows additional modules to be added to create more space or integrate new functions.
Exhaust air system
An exhaust system is a system for ventilating indoor spaces that removes excess air and moisture to the outside. It plays an important role in tiny houses and modular houses to ensure a healthy indoor climate and prevent mold formation.
EnEV (Energy Saving Ordinance)
The Energy Saving Ordinance specifies energy requirements for new buildings and existing buildings in order to reduce energy consumption.
Renewable energy
Energy sources that regenerate and do not deplete, such as wind, solar, hydropower, biomass and geothermal energy. In contrast, fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas are non-renewable and contribute to the release of greenhouse gases.
