Regeringen godkender ny lov om modernisering af bygninger

Den føderale regering har godkendt udkastet til en ny lov om modernisering af bygninger. Den nye lovgivning erstatter den kontroversielle varmelov fra den tidligere trafiklyskoalition og har til formål at tilbyde mere fleksibilitet i valget af opvarmningsformer.

Regeringen vedtog lovudkastet den 13. maj i Berlin. Forbundsøkonomiminister Katherina Reiche udtalte, at det tvungne udskiftningskrav for varmeanlæg ikke længere er gældende. Gasfyr kan fortsat installeres, såfremt en stigende andel af CO2-neutrale brændstoffer anvendes fra 2029 og frem. Bygningsminister Verena Hubertz understregede, at kapitlet om den gamle lov nu er afsluttet. Ifølge udkastet får lejere og ejere mere beslutningsfrihed. Det nationale kontrolråd, Nationaler Normenkontrollrat, kritiserede teksten skarpt. Formand Lutz Goebel kaldte det et af de dårligst udformede og mest upraktiske projekter i de senere år. Rådet opfordrede Forbundsdagen til at revidere udkastet i den parlamentariske proces.
