Becoming an Energy-Efficient House in 22 Days

A complete energy-efficiency renovation in record time

What initially sounds hard to imagine can actually succeed with precise planning and simultaneous work by the various trades.

What is it like for homeowners to experience such a "sprint" construction project? The owners, Jana and Dominic Deurer Oppen, share firsthand accounts of their home’s renovation—from the initial planning stages to moving into their energy-upgraded home.

But can this model be more than just a successful pilot project? The Esslingen District Climate Protection Agency presents the renovation sprint concept and demonstrates how the approach can be replicated and scaled up. The discussion also addresses the obstacles currently hindering faster renovation—and whether new forms of planning and coordination can help bring more buildings up to energy-efficiency standards more quickly.

Following the presentation, a discussion takes place featuring Jana and Dominic Deurer Oppen, Matthias Stöffler, renovation manager for Baden-Württemberg’s first renovation sprint, and Johannes Messmer from the Esslingen District Climate Protection Agency.

Can the renovation sprint actually increase the rate of renovation—or does it ultimately result primarily in higher costs and increased planning, coordination, and effort?
