Homeowners Show Declining Interest in Energy-Saving Renovations

A recent survey reveals a significant drop in plans for energy-efficient home upgrades among German homeowners.

Only 11.8% of homeowners who have not yet renovated plan to implement energy-saving measures in the next year, down from 17.9% two years ago.
Dach insulation, new windows with better glazing, and solar panels are the top planned renovations, while heat pump installations lag behind.
Nearly half of homeowners have undertaken energy-saving renovations in the past five years, with a high satisfaction rate of 96.5%.
Budget constraints, reluctance to take loans, and concerns over future standards deter many from pursuing renovations.
State support and easier implementation could motivate more homeowners to consider energy-saving upgrades.
