Energy-saving renovation of an old building in Gütersloh: challenges and experiences of a Noack family of six

According to a report from www.nw.de, the Gütersloh Noack family is having their house renovated to make it more energy efficient. They have been living on a construction site for months while craftsmen renovate their property. Much of the work, such as replacing the windows and installing a ventilation system with heat recovery, has already been completed. The newly expanded attic is also slowly taking shape. The family hopes to complete the renovation by the end of the year and be able to celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve in their renovated home.

The renovation of the Noack family's house is an example of an energy-saving renovation that is being implemented more and more frequently in Gütersloh. Such renovation projects help reduce energy consumption and improve living comfort. Replacing windows and installing a ventilation system can reduce heat loss and increase energy efficiency. The Noack family is already reporting lower heating costs and a more pleasant indoor climate.

An important factor in the renovation of real estate is the availability of skilled workers. The Noack family is also struggling with delays due to the lack of craftsmen, but so far the work has been kept on schedule. In the report, the architect Reinhard Michel expressed concern about the shortage of skilled workers and the associated challenges in organizing and coordinating the trades on site.

The renovation of the Noack family's house not only has an impact on their quality of life, but also on the real estate market in Gütersloh. Energy-efficient renovation measures increase the attractiveness of properties because they are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. This can lead to an increase in the value of the property and increase the sales value. Sustainable renovation can also help older properties be used for longer instead of being replaced by new buildings.

Overall, the example of the Noack family shows that energy-saving renovation involves some challenges, but can be worthwhile in the end. In addition to the ecological and financial advantages, it also contributes to maintaining the value of the living space and can have a positive influence on the real estate market.
