Nienburg – Hans-Böckler-Straße
As part of a forward-thinking renovation project, three apartment buildings from 1950 in Nienburg/Weser are being fully modernized. Through a partnership between ecoworks and GBN Wohnungsunternehmen GmbH, all 54 residential units will be brought up to the latest energy standards using serial renovation and targeted renewable energy solutions. The project is designed to sharply reduce energy consumption and deliver sustainable, future-ready living spaces.

Overview
The Challenge:
In Nienburg/Weser, we are renovating three multi-family buildings constructed in 1950, which are currently classified in energy efficiency class H. The buildings show high energy losses and no longer meet today’s energy standards. As is typical for buildings from this era, there is a clear need for comprehensive energy upgrades to meet current requirements for sustainability, climate goals and living quality. The aim is to significantly improve the energy performance through serial renovation and make the buildings future-proof.
The Approach:
The renovation focuses on a serial approach: the building envelopes are being modernised using prefabricated facade elements, complemented by high-performance insulation of the roof and basement ceiling. The building services are upgraded and enhanced with efficient ventilation concepts. A particular feature of this project is the connection to an existing heating network, which ensures reliable and efficient heat supply. The combination of these measures raises the buildings to a new energetic standard.
The Result:
Through the renovation, the buildings progress from energy efficiency class H to class A and reach the Efficiency House 55 standard. Energy demand is significantly reduced, resulting in noticeable savings in energy costs for residents. The project in Nienburg/Weser demonstrates how existing residential buildings can be modernised efficiently and purposefully through serial renovation — creating value for residents, owners and the environment.

“We were convinced by ecoworks’ holistic approach and the opportunity to save energy and reduce CO₂ emissions. Besides the significant energy savings, the economic advantages make serial energy retrofitting with ecoworks the clear choice. Thanks to available subsidies, the renovation costs are comparable to those of conventional renovations—despite achieving a higher energy efficiency standard and much shorter construction times.”
