Climate-neutral building stock by 2045
It is necessary to make the building stock climate-neutral by 2045. This is enshrined in both the Federal Climate Protection Act (KSG) and the Saarland Climate Protection Act (SKSG).
Buildings make a significant contribution to overall emissions in Germany. Energy consumption has not fallen for years, taking into account the mild temperatures in winter.
The Saarpfalz district has determined that at least €7 million (excluding price increases) must be invested in its own properties each year in order to achieve a climate-neutral building stock. Renovations that are due to be carried out anyway can be combined with energy-saving measures.
A building concept is being drawn up to address this issue systematically. In addition, so-called"refurbishment roadmaps" are being drawn up at various locations, for which funding is being utilised.
Numerous subsidies are also utilised for the implementation of measures.
