Lower Saxony's red-green state government wants to make building significantly cheaper by removing regulations. The opposition criticizes that she is leaving out one area.
The CDU is calling on the state parliament to also question energy standards. Although higher efficiency standards reduced energy consumption, they also led to significantly higher costs for manufacturing, servicing, servicing, and replacing components. The aim is to provide impetus for affordable housing and new orders for the construction industry, said construction minister Olaf Lies (SPD). The draft law shows that the country has opportunities to deregulate construction, CDU MP Christian Frölich said on Thursday. However, a change to the building regulations could at best be a start to boost housing construction, renovation, and conversion, he said.
