The house in your avatar?

Otherwise, congratulations on your first post

mostly made of (precast) concrete

What exactly is made of concrete if it meets KfW55? Precast or in-situ concrete is no material difference.

Hello,

Yes, the house from my avatar

The basement is of course completely made of concrete, including the interior walls. Then on the ground floor almost all exterior walls, as well as the supports. On the upper floor 2 exterior walls. And the entire staircase, up to the attic. And of course all ceilings and beams

How do I achieve KFW 55 with this? 20cm WLG 035 external thermal insulation composite system [WDVs] on the wall. And in the attic thick rafters with sufficient WLG 032 insulating wool, both between and additionally under the rafters insulation. Furthermore, an air/water heat pump and a decentralized ventilation system.

Then on the ground floor almost all exterior walls,

Are there only technical and utility rooms besides the garages, so that the apartment only starts on the upper floor? - Would you like to post the house here?

On the ground floor there is also a small "storage room" with a toilet. The technical and heating room is in the basement. I can gladly post the house sometime, I have to see how I can get it in here.

Hello,

I have the same situation. My property is located in a commercial area. I have living and office space in one building. Since I don't have to move any 'heavy' things, the living area is on the ground floor and the office is on the upper floor. The access is arranged so that I use the staircase as a separation. I have two entrances to the living area on the ground floor because the reception is on the ground floor. On the upper floor, I have three rooms with an external bathroom section in order to have maximum flexibility. Later on, I can redesign all this with minimal effort so that it becomes either a pure office building or a pure residential building. The layout is also designed so that with little effort, the living area on the ground floor can be divided into two apartments. The office on the upper floor could also be converted into three apartments. For this purpose, the necessary 'wastewater pipes' to install bathrooms and kitchens accordingly are provided in the building.

The additional costs for this flexibility are limited if it is considered during the planning stage.

And what will be in 10, 20 or 30 years, nobody knows anyway.
