The Renewable Energy Heat Act (EEWärmeG) is intended to promote the increased use of renewable energies in the heating sector. It sets minimum proportions of renewable energies in the final energy consumption for heating and hot water in new and existing buildings. The law obliges developers and building owners to cover a certain percentage of [...]
The Building Energy Act (GEG) is a German legal regulation that has been in force since November 1, 2020. It combines various previous regulations, including the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV), the Renewable Energy Heat Act (EEWärmeG) and the Energy Saving Act (EnEG). The GEG regulates the energy requirements for new and existing buildings as well [...]
Technical building equipment includes all technical equipment and systems in a building that are necessary to ensure safe, comfortable and energy-efficient operation. This includes heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology, sanitary technology, electrical installations, lighting as well as elevator and security systems. In tiny houses or modular houses, the TGA is crucial to enable optimal [...]
The Cradle-to-Cradle principle (C2C) is a sustainable concept in which products are considered as nutrients for the environment from the beginning of their production to the end of their life cycle. Unlike the traditional cradle-to-grave model, where products end after use, products in the C2C model should be able to be recycled or biodegraded at [...]
Insulation materials are the specific materials or products used to insulate and insulate the walls, floors, and ceilings of a tiny house or modular home. They differ in their properties such as thermal insulation value, moisture resistance and environmental friendliness. Common insulation materials include mineral wool, cellulose, ecological insulation materials such as hemp or sheep's [...]
Independence from external energy sources through the use of renewable energies such as solar energy or wind power in tiny houses or modular houses.
The swap body is a removable and standardized load carrier that is used specifically in the area of modular house construction. It enables the safe transport of prefabricated modules to construction sites. Because it can be adapted to different truck chassis, the swap body simplifies the logistics process.
The production of components or entire modules in a factory before they are transported to the construction site.
The time frame required to build a tiny house or modular home is often shorter compared to traditional homes due to the prefabrication of components.
A barrier-free house is designed to be easily accessible to people with physical limitations. This includes e.g. E.g. step-free access, wider doors and special facilities. Barrier-free living makes everyday life easier for people with disabilities or seniors.
