While monument protection serves to preserve the architectural heritage, climate protection aims to protect the natural foundations of life. Both are important concerns that often seem incompatible: a solar installation changes the appearance of buildings that are worth preserving, while an energy-efficient refurbishment leads to the loss of historic facades. However, a building that has not been renovated is energy-intensive and associated with high CO2<\/sub> emissions. An insoluble conflict?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Around a third of Germany\u2019s historic buildings are at risk or in urgent need of renovation. As part of the short study \u201cClimate protection in listed buildings\u201d, we state: In order for listed buildings to be preserved, they must also be able to be used and operated economically in the future. This also benefits climate protection: if the listed building stock continues to be used, additional building materials and the associated gray energy for new buildings are avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The study shows that, in view of the rising cost of fossil fuels, high-quality energy-efficient refurbishments are increasingly a prerequisite for the future use of listed buildings. The challenge: Conflicts between monument protection and climate protection have so far mostly been negotiated at the level of the individual refurbishment project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solutions at a higher level are needed to replace the treatment of monument protection and climate protection as different areas of law, funding and knowledge with a holistic view. Promising approaches include improved approval practices, an optimized funding landscape, the development of guidelines and directives, advice and awareness-raising for owners and multi-stakeholder dialogues. In order to further develop these solutions, the goals of climate protection and monument protection must be better coordinated at federal, state and municipal level. A specialist discourse among experts is also needed. Both climate and building culture benefit from this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Listed buildings can contribute to climate protection.
