“The renovation standard should be raised to the technical specification 'KfW Efficiency House 55'. As a minimum standard for new buildings, 'KfW 40 Plus' or the Passive House standard should apply”,
The first part is logical and consistent, the second however, in my opinion, tends towards making building again elitist in a more stringent way. Trying to compensate for that further with construction financing would lead to, I’d say nicely, "undesirable" far-reaching distortions in monetary policy.
