27. Results
There is not one best solution – individual situation is relevant
Consider consulting an experienced project facilitator
Some interesting solutions (i.e. 2d) clearly meet the spirit of our age, but have to be verified in terms of legal compliance
Details about the proposed solutions under this link: Your next steps:
Do the EPC pre-check
Contact a national project facilitator

29. Questions and Outlook
Additional value through increase of comfort is currently not quantifiable
Same as for reduction of number of sick leaves, increase of productivity etc.
Not considered at all: macro economic additional values such as ecological footprint etc.
