Saving energy and costs

Many older buildings have heating requirements of more than 20 liters of heating oil per square meter of living space per year. Products and systems from BASF can be used cost effectively to modernize such buildings into low-energy homes. Our innovative insulating material Neopor® is particularly suitable for retrofitting older buildings with thermal insulation. Combined with other measures, Neopor can reduce heating requirements in older buildings to less than 7 liters of heating oil per square meter and year - the standard for new buildings constructed in accordance with the German Energy Savings Ordinance (EnEV). This conserves resources, reduces energy costs and significantly cuts emissions. Compared to alternative products, Neopor offers greater benefits at lower costs and with a lower environmental impact. For example, Neopor already saves more energy in the first heating period following insulation than was needed in its manufacture.
