No, there is absolutely no obligation for that!

It is as says, according to the Building Energy Act there is an obligation if you renew or clad more than 10% of your facade.

Believe me, that is not the case with me! But that is not what this is about. I just wanted to know whether it makes sense or not. Nothing more and nothing less. Thank you

Now I'm curious how you circumvent legal requirements. Explain why that is not the case with you. Façade cladding is considered a renovation with the insulation obligation according to the Building Energy Act. Clear answer was yes and no. Insulation makes sense, 30mm does not (regardless of the obligation).

I don't know what this has to do with the original topic‍♂️, but the house is located in Vorarlberg…. I think it's better to end it here because everything is being discussed except the actual concern. It was worth a try. Thank you for the very interesting discussion

How are we supposed to know that your house is in Austria?

The 3cm insulation will not help much. However, if you are putting on a new facade, it makes sense to bring the insulation up to current standards right away.
