sustainability in focus

In the district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen, other homeowners can apply for the green house number by May 31, 2024. This initiative aims to reward sustainable building practices and at the same time to raise awareness of environmentally friendly measures. Applicants must submit evidence of their resource and energy consumption as well as photos of their projects. A specialist jury checks the applications and evaluates different categories such as building materials and sustainability. At least 60 percent of the possible total number of points are required to obtain the green house number and a certificate, such as altmuehlefranken-online.de . The awards should not only honor the efforts of the owners, but also inspire others to make their houses more environmentally friendly.
