Storing CO2 instead
of releasing it
Since the company’s foundation, Haas has been building with wood—the most sustainable building material. We use exclusively PEFC-certified wood from sustainable forestry. Wood is a construction material with an optimal energy balance. An average Haas house stores around 30 tons of CO2! In addition, our Thermo Protect systems meet the highest requirements in terms of thermal insulation and summer heat protection. We implement innovative ideas to conserve resources and reduce environmentally harmful emissions.
Every year, we draw up a CO2 balance sheet in accordance with the globally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol standard. That is why we are entitled to use the label “CO2 NEUTRAL,” which, for our clients, means: building with Haas is climate-neutral construction.

Sustainable building—
Building for the world of
tomorrow with Regnauer.
Climate change is mostly the result of the human-induced greenhouse effect. We should expect to deal with more frequent extreme weather events and rising energy cost. It is in our hands: Buildings with optimized energy performance use little or no energy at all, conserve the environment and result in lower cost. For our Regnauer Vitalhaus, we use natural, certified materials, such as timber from sustainable forestry. It stands for living in a healthy room climate and low energy requirement. Also their longevity and the possibility of adapting the living space to new life situations carry the idea of sustainable building forward.

Solid arguments for
modular construction
Sustainability does not mean looking just at U-values. Optimal thermal insulation and energy efficiency are a given today. Robust, stable, maximum durability: These are keywords that stand for sustainability—and for solid construction. SPACE is built with concrete. The local natural raw material is perfectly suited for industrial prefabrication. Even as much as 90% the finishing work is made to measure in the factory. Each production step is examined in terms of ecological and energy aspects. When the houses leave the factory, they are almost ready for occupancy. This saves resources, both in production and by minimizing trips to the construction site. Sustainability from start to finish.

ELKHAUS was one of the first prefab house manufacturers to opt for sustainability in production. Our goal is to minimize the consumption of energy and resources. All life cycle phases of a building are taken into account: from the extraction of raw materials through construction to dismantling. The facts speak for themselves: Concrete produces around 8 percent of global CO2 emissions, whereas the renewable building material wood sequestrates CO2—and grows back. The 30 cubic meters of spruce wood required for an average ELKHAUS take just 23 seconds to grow in German forests. So if you build a prefabricated house, you are protecting nature and the climate long term.

Healthy and a long “life”
Building biology and healthy living harmoniously combined in a brick house is still the epitome of sustainable building—for generations to come.
The natural building material brick (burnt clay and enclosed air) is tried and tested, while still state-of-the art thanks to consistent further development. You can choose to build your dream house with unfilled bricks or bricks with cavity fill for natural thermal insulation.
Conversion, adding storeys, expansion—a brick house is also an ideal partner for the future!
And what remains if your descendants do think about demolition at some point? Brick chippings! Simple & sustainable!
