German Parliament Approves New Building Modernization Law
The German parliament passed a new building law. The law allows new gas and oil boilers, but with changes. The law now needs approval from the Bundesrat.
The ‘traffic light’ coalition government proposed the Building Modernization Law. The law allows for the installation of new boilers. However, the rules have been changed to use ‘bioderivative ladders’ in basements. This means the new boilers will need to be more environmentally friendly. The law is now waiting for approval from the Bundesrat, another part of the German government.
