Innovation by Reduction How can architecture create a pleasant indoor climate using construction techniques and as little technology as possible? Researchers from four different departments at the Technical University of Munich joined forces with the engineering firm Transsolar Energietechnik to explore integral strategies for simple, energy-efficient construction. The architecture firm Florian Nagler Architekten implemented the plans developed by the TUM project for three prototype buildings made of solid wood, masonry and lightweight concrete in monolithic construction. Using these apartment buildings as examples, the guide vividly elucidates the six core principles of simple construction. Analysis of three exemplary apartment buildings Monolithic structures in wood, lightweight concrete, and brick The result of an interdisciplinary research project at the Technical University of Munich (TUM)

Learning from Einfach Bauen – the indispensable sequel! What is it like to live in one of the research houses? How has the concept of Einfach Bauen worked out in practice? This book presents an evaluation of long-term measurements in relation to three experimental buildings made of solid wood, masonry, and lightweight concrete in a monolithic construction form, and provides insights into how the designers’ original ideas are reflected in actual use. The three buildings are compared in terms of environmental impact, costs, and comfort. Surveys of the residents and a photo series add to our understanding of the human experience. This transparent comparison is intended to contribute to the further development of the Einfach Bauen concept. Learning from Einfach Bauen / Building Simply (english edition) – the indispensable sequel! Measurement results from the usage phase and experiences of residents Specially commissioned photo series on how residents have adopted and adapted to the buildings

Reducing energy consumption in Germany's housing stock is a key task for the coming years. This requires cost-effective and material-saving solutions. The approach follows the principles of simple construction, i.e., the use of technology is kept to a minimum. Based on an analysis of three housing estates in Munich, we explain how the goal of reducing CO2 emissions can be achieved without increasing the rent including heating costs.
