Germany’s EnEfG mandates a rising energy-reuse factor — 10% (2026 starts), 15% (2027), 20% (2028) — making heat-ready design a regulatory floor.
How it maps hereREGULATORY-tier; SYN-HEAT member; the floor is not the ceiling.
Running these together in the Place Planner unlocks a synergy multiplier — each strengthens the others.
