Maschweg, Hemmingen

Description

The aims of the modernization were: seperation of both residential units and development to the road, open living, visible framework, maximal CO2- and energy-savings as well as highest indoor comfort based on valuable passiv house components. A large amount of personal contribution restricted costs, an additional roof insulation was not realisable for reason of budget. Therefore a improved airtightness could only be achieved on the ground floor and on the first floor with foil in the ceiling area.

After draining, sealing and insulating the fundament, hollowing ground and first floor, additional window areas and a balcony for the the leased out first floor flat were created. With a wooden supporting structure and blown in cellulose, the house was intense insulated from outside. From the first floor upwards, a larch wood cladding was mounted, the first floor was plastered. Furthermore, the historic framework is realised in the indoor areas. It was exposed, lavishly refurbished and the trays were fitted with humidity regulating clay plaster.

This modernized house consumes 75 percent less energy than before and uses natural gas as well as solar energy for water heating and space heating. Heating is performed by means of the ventilation system, individual single radiators and the temperated sandstone floor in the dining area.
