The Kinderland Zur Sonnwend is currently being expanded, after which the energetic renovation of the old building is due.

They now want to invest more and tap higher grants for this - if the shortage of materials doesn't thwart the plan.

Neufinsing

– The kindergarten Kinderland Zur Sonnwend in Neufinsing is currently being expanded.

Once the new building is complete, the old building will be renovated to improve energy efficiency.

They now want to invest more and tap higher grants for this - if the shortage of materials caused by the Ukraine war doesn't thwart the entire project.

Architect Markus Heilmaier reported to the municipal council that years ago an "ad hoc renovation" was needed on the roof of the intermediate building because the sheet metal covering had been eaten through.

Now, 30 years later, all sheet metal coverings have to be replaced: "At only 14 centimeters thick, this was thermal insulation appropriate for the time.

You can no longer meet today’s energy requirements with it.” A similar damage pattern is also evident in the north building.

During an inspection, it was also found that the façade construction in the base area was partially rotten.

There is also no insulation in the southern building basement, and modernization of security technology is necessary inside, such as the installation of a comprehensive house alarm system.

"The whole thing is just a child of its time, you have to renovate it, so to speak, we are legally obliged to do that," said Heilmaier.

He explained that the Federal Subsidy for Efficient Buildings (BEG) could be used to turn into the subsidy level for an "Efficiency House 100-EE" (renewable energy class).

You have to invest 150,000 euros more for further insulation measures, but you get around 217,000 euros more funding.

“And you get a building that's better to maintain.

This program should be used in terms of both funding and sustainability,” advised the architect.

However, his outlook on the material situation was less gratifying.

The current cost calculation dates back to before the war, "and we don't know how it will affect the situation in the construction industry".

He now receives price lists every day, says Heilmaier.

There are hardly any more birch plywood panels, from which 80 percent of the furniture is made - because the raw material comes from Russia.

From April 1st, the price of wood-aluminium and aluminum windows will rise by at least 24 percent and wood fiber insulation by 20 percent, and further adjustments have been announced.

"We're concerned that we won't get any material at all, or at least not what we need right now when construction is underway," said the architect.

However, there could well be a prioritization where public buildings would be far ahead.

"I was actually just waiting for you to say that you would recommend that the measure be postponed due to the incalculability of the prices," Dieter Heilmair (CSU) asked the architect for his opinion.

"I fear that this will drag on for years and I hope that we will get a consolidation of prices," he said.

Mayor Max Kressirer (WGE) said that the project should definitely be tackled.

And if you now award a bidder, then he must also guarantee that he can deliver.

A first step could be the new roof with better insulation, a second then windows and heating.

The latter is also needed for the new building anyway.

"Write everything out and see what offers come up," was Kressirer's suggestion.

"And if only the roof comes, then we only do the roof.

If nothing comes up, then we have to postpone the measure.”

Jürgen Lachmann (WGN) suggested providing areas where material could be temporarily stored.

"I would help organize that at any time so that the municipality pays for the material and it is only installed when we need it," said Heilmaier.

He advocated putting out the largest possible package right away.

He expects the first results in the summer.

"We have to tackle this now, we planned it with the common heating system in such a way that we can do the renovation and extension in a timely manner," said Ludwig Lex (FWF).

"But if the prices are really completely different, we'll have to talk again about whether we should cancel something or postpone it completely."

Managing Director Helmut Fryba calculated how the own share would develop if the higher costs for the "Efficiency House 100-EE" and also 25 percent were added due to developments on the material market: the share would rise to 1.65 million euros.

The budget is 1.7 million euros.

"It should work like this.

It's important that we get the goods," said Kressirer.

So the decision was made to implement the "Efficiency House 100-EE" for, as calculated, 2.78 million euros.

But it is also stated that it is assumed that this calculation is now outdated and that the prices would be 25 percent higher at the time of the award.

The architect's office is to prepare the tender.
