Yeah as far as residential building tech rehabs Europe is at least 50 years behind. To go into a use an infrared camera and plug it with insulation is easy. There are also geothermal heat pumps that work fine.
Edmond, OK incentives geothermal installs in homes as its lowers the city's peak electricity costs. That said Edmond's average household income is $108k for a 31k households city in one of the cheapest metros in the country so they can afford it.
- morsch 3y agoNew construction in Germany is insanely well insulated -- by law. But we have a huge existing base of old construction that takes ten times as much energy to heat up or more. You can't just hear all that down, and improving the insulation is expensive, more expensive than just installing a new heating system. Think at least 50k EUR for a small house, five to ten times as much for a typical inner city large, multi tenant building.
