- Oliver: Many people of someone who an energy certificate or someone who walks through the house gives few tips and into the villa. The reality is much more complex. Between marketing logic, construction physics and technology, a profession that is often underestimated and the same time decisive whether a renovation really works or goes at a high price. What an energy advisor really does, where his limits lie and why it a big difference who you choose That's what we're now. Alexei, we talk about how to a good energy advisor, could you at beginning? What an energy advisor? What does do specifically? How do you that? Yes, good question to start with. There are actually lot of misunderstandings what he does and what doesn't do. So let's take look at what the typical services are. So classic way, an energy advisor for ISFPs. We have already talked Energy expenditure and proofs for funding applications. addition, it can also other areas. Typically, these these proofs. are, for example, concepts, heat bridge proofs, heat load calculations, analysis of heat transfer systems, calculations of hydraulic balance. everything that is necessary or is meaningful in relation to the renovation. Some offer beyond but also something else. You got off We've already talked at this point. We've already talked I think most energy advisors think the same. The proof for funding applications also sounds absolutely correct Then it became bit very technical, ventilation concepts and so on, you mentioned. Is there a system behind it? Yes, of course. essentially, these areas that cover an energy advisor are basically two areas. One topic is physics and one topic is building equipment. Let's with construction physics. It's all about heat protection. That's the main goal behind about moisture protection and also about heat bridges. And safety of the component itself, that it works and you don't any problems in house if you, for example, the facade. When it to technical building equipment, This is a good keyword. So it doesn't any further, you said what ⁓ Does explicitly not it or what does he about it? Yes, maybe I'll the things that the energy advisor does and sort it a bit. I would say that has three levels. On one strategically, on the other hand, legally, so legally administrative and then also organizational. If we with the strategic part, then it's about building to be Usually, in the renovation plan, to meaningful renovation measures in the right order and to plan So all these three topics fit the renovation plan. We do that in there. legal and administrative part is about funding applications. Everything that in the application itself means, but also the proofs that are required so that whole thing is even possible And for that, the energy advisor then makes a technical project description or a confirmation for the application, depending on the funding program, the end. Actually, the measure is not quite the end, but that is just the most important part, the implementation. Of course, a bit about quality assurance, so construction support is the keyword in the context And that's exactly with the issue of limitation. The energy advisor is doing quality assurance in context He is not every day while the construction site is running and he does not report on the work that the craftsmen have He is not a report, he is not a construction manager, but according what you said, he technically active. The framework is already clearly defined It's about quality assurance in funding context. Not more, not less. We are the longer arm of the BAFA and the KfW. Now there is also a term, which called energy efficiency experts. What is the difference? Because I feeling that the country is often used synonymously. Yes, that is often thrown We at the because everything I described, that's the energy efficiency expert of is the energy advisor himself. Because the professional name, energy advisor, which is basically not protected first, there is no professional image, there are different actors working on it. Everyone can themselves that. There is no ... So, I think already see If someone just themselves energy advisors and so on, even if that's the term under which you understand thing, if he's not on this list, that's a topic that should be on the screen. Because an energy efficiency expert who is now to some things that others are not allowed What might be? Yes, that's mainly funding applications or the proof for the funding applications and and also proof instance for the KfW, for BAFA and also some regional banks and sponsors. And you always that if you to an efficiency level with your renovation or your new building or you the renovation on a part of the building cover or on the entire building cover. In the case of this not necessary The craftsman can do Typically, some heaters but we actually with some heaters because they on the core business themselves. That's it's bit more Okay, but that means in the heating context, if the heaters give such a professional explanation, then you your support. In all other areas it actually If the energy advisor is not the energy efficiency experts of the DENA, then is no funding. Yes, exactly. That's it looks. Only energy efficiency experts are allowed to proof for the application or for the funding end, i.e. payment in case of renovation of a building cover. In case of heating, heating builders Good. Now You used many words like building physically and so on and so forth. kind of background do energy efficiency experts typically This actually quite diverse. So I would first divide it into one hand, craftsmanship background and the other hand, technical background. You can both a construction engineer, architect, heating engineer, or roomers, roof coverers. The list is relatively long, principle almost every unit can be further trained. It is basically always necessary to have this prior experience first. For the craftsmen it must be a master's or technician. For the study courses there are no further requirements, but What I want is that this certification is basically just the entry card. Most of you learn about the experience. So how do I find out if I good energy advisor? That's the question that's around here. Above all, course, What would you say, what do you in your experience to be a good energy advisor? What should you have done? What can you do as a... A who just Google energy advisor and then to the first best. What else can you watch out Referencing projects is course the first thing that to mind. I'd to a few projects that were accompanied and also what extent. Then he naturally the typical mistakes from practice. Especially in relation to the craft, typical things are airtight levels, he should have a ventilation concept in his offer, airtightness concept etc. So there are actually a few points to watch It's not easy as a But I think you a layman if he has to a construction site and seen what actually happened or if he a renovation plan. Then I'll it again. So I'm for an energy advisor. I'm forward to it. He is on the list efficiency experts of the Danes. And best of all, let me show a few reference projects to see if he really has experience in practice. and can he really implement what he on the website? Then let's it from your side so that we it all clear clear again and everyone can to again when he next time at the energy advisor or on the search for an energy advisor. What is he now? What is he not Let's it briefly. What he does, energy analysis restoration strategies, We check of we apply plan, and external inspection agencies to comply with the funding guidelines, we have projects that so that it is really built the it in the funding application. Only then there is a funding What he usually doesn't do is independent reviews about the performance of And very importantly, he does not over construction management and does over technical facilities such as heating or ventilation systems. There are specialized factories We'll with You said one more point. We will the next episodes, namely the topic to check If I that correctly, happens very often that craftsmen give that are not even eligible in the form they are I always very exciting. And of the topic of do's and don'ts. You break such a funding. We will discuss But now first all, thank you for your time. Alex Heng. A few words from me.
