The event on September 3rd will showcase economically viable and climate-friendly solutions
Riedstadt. Whether thermal insulation is worthwhile for apartment buildings is a frequently discussed question. Although these buildings are more compact than single-family homes and have less exterior surface area relative to their volume, insulation can still lead to significant energy savings. "Heat doesn't care whether it escapes through the walls of a single-family or an apartment building," explains Riedstadt's renovation manager, Benedikt Krick . In terms of living space per square meter, renovation is often even more cost-effective in apartment buildings, as less exterior surface area needs to be insulated.
The bigger challenge often lies in the coordination: "In buildings with multiple owners, it is often difficult to reach a joint decision for a sustainable renovation. That's why we specifically advise owners' associations," says Krick.
Practical example and economic comparison
At the 19th workshop discussion on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 , at 6 p.m. in Riedstadt Town Hall, concrete renovation options will be presented – including costs, potential savings, and a practical example from the town of Riedstadt. Krick emphasizes: "Economic efficiency and climate protection go hand in hand in building renovation. That's what we want to demonstrate."
