GVD's Munich Project: Tenant Electricity Models Cut Costs, Meet EnEV
Property owners and tenants can mutually benefit from innovative 'tenant electricity' models, as demonstrated by GVD GmbH & Co. KG's upcoming passive residential unit in Munich. These models, which combine renewable energy sources and efficient technologies, can help meet Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) criteria, reduce living costs, and provide financial incentives for both parties.
GVD GmbH & Co. KG, in collaboration with eco-energy supplier Polarstern, is set to construct a passive residential unit with 59 apartments, featuring a tenant-energy concept. This concept includes photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, and battery storage, aiming to maximize energy efficiency and self-sufficiency.
Property owners can meet EnEV criteria through various measures, such as improving insulation and switching to efficient heating technology. Tenant electricity models can further support this, reducing tenants' electricity and heating costs by around five percent and providing owners with additional returns. Future tenant power models can combine solar thermal, photovoltaics, and energy storage systems to enhance efficiency even further. In times of rising living costs, such models can contribute to more affordable housing.
Both property owners and tenants stand to gain from these models. Owners can access financing and returns, while tenants see reduced ancillary rental costs. Local energy generation measures, like tenant electricity models, can supplement other measures and offer high KfW funding opportunities. Combining EnEV and EE Heat Law requirements can be achieved through tenant power models using photovoltaic and heat pump systems.
GVD GmbH & Co. KG's upcoming project in Munich showcases the potential of tenant electricity models. By integrating renewable energy sources and efficient technologies, these models can help meet energy efficiency regulations, lower living costs, and provide financial incentives for both property owners and tenants. As demonstrated, such models can be economically viable and beneficial for all parties involved.
