Three residential buildings in Hofheim – a comparison of energy standards

In Hofheim am Taunus, three structurally identical double-family houses were refurbished according to different energy standards, allowing for a direct comparison. The pre-fabricated, storey-high insulating elements represent a new kind of facade heat insulation. They are thinner than the traditional insulation due to their integrated vacuum panels and do not stick so far out onto the public pavement.
