The 2000 Watt Concept

In order to achieve also the goals of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change) of 1 ton CO2-emissionen per capita, only 500 W may come from fossil fuels, 1’500 W have to come from renewable, CO2-free energy resources.

About 2'000 Watt per capita (17'500 kWh/a) are needed, to ensure a healthy society that achieves a reasonable level of prosperity

Building renewal with prefabricated elements

80-90 % energy savings + added values (room extension, attic apartment)

Deep Building Renovation


Traditional Renovation

hardly future oriented

too many technical compromises

to many craftsman involved

poor coordination on site

low quality level

inefficient construction processes


Whole building concept

no technical compromises

few companies involved

well coordinated modules

Prefab Retrofit suitable for deep renovation

Energy savings > 80% are realistic target, potential for Zero or Plus-energy building

Energy savings measures itself are hardly cost effective > added values needed

Expected service life > 50 years

Technologies are available

Summary Prefab Building Retrofit


Social challenges for energy retrofit

Financing situation for building renovation often difficult

Additional legal requirements for comprehensive renovations (earthquake, fire, sound, energy, water management, electrical installations)

Trend to self-owned apartments with emphasis on internal and step by step renovations

Additional difficulties for inhabited construction sites, especially during winter time
