The aim of our new research project "simply (re)build" is to show that we can refurbish existing buildings in a much less complex and sensible way - in terms of energy consumption and ecological balance - than is currently practised and promoted, and that we do not have to encase the whole of Germany in polystyrene, but can preserve our valuable architectural heritage.
