Is balcony renovation affected by the Energy Saving Ordinance?

Hello everyone,

at our house, the area under the balcony has been used for the living room, almost like a bay window.
The balcony therefore basically acts as a roof.
Due to the structural conditions, the balcony cannot meet the Energy Saving Ordinance values.
The size of the balcony is about 6.5m².

As far as I understand the Energy Saving Ordinance, a modernization only has to meet the values if the building area exceeds >10% of the respective component area.

Therefore, the following questions:
1. Have I understood this correctly?
2. Is the balcony to be understood as part of the roof?
3. Is the area that has to be related to the balcony area the roof area or the floor plan?

It would be great if you could help me with this :-)

Already many thanks in advance!

I am not quite clear here what your modernization is and whether it has already been completed or is still planned. Have you expanded the living room?

Sorry, then it was a bit misleading.

The house currently has a balcony under which the living room is located. The balcony is now to be renovated (new screed etc... and also insulation). Due to structural conditions, the renovation cannot be carried out in accordance with the [Energieeinsparverordnung].

Therefore the questions...

Are you applying for funding? If not, delete the question ;-)

No, application for funding is not planned..
