Authors: Peter Mellwig, Martin Pehnt, Anna Braune, Isabell Wellstein

The heating transition is a highly ambitious task. At the same time, the goal of a climate-neutral building stock by 2045 in Germany must not be missed. To achieve this, the building sector must be considered and transformed together with the supply sectors and grids. Unrenovated buildings place high demands on the other sectors and can therefore overburden their already highly demanding transformation. The buildings with the poorest efficiency must therefore be refurbished in a targeted manner.
