Healthy and sustainable

Excerpt from the HUF employee newspaper from 1985

In his editorial of the 1985 edition of the HUF HAUS News Magazine, Franz Huf emphasizes that biology in construction is the basis for the production of HUF houses and must be given a great deal of attention; especially as the company had been a member of the German Association of Prefabricated Houses in Hamburg since the founding of the Construction Biology Committee. The newspaper also reports on how energy efficient the HUF houses are. This has remained the case to this day.

... and today?

Christoph Schmidt, Managing Director of HUF HAUS

For us, healthy living is not a trend or a current debate - healthy living is part of our self-image and is also taken for granted by our customers.

Eco-friendly building materials, for example, to guarantee pollutant-free indoor air, are not an optional 'extra service' that you have to add on. For decades, they have been used without saying. In the same way the use of resource-conserving and sustainable heating systems has been a given.

All components are manufactured according to the strictest sustainability criteria - a large proportion of them comes directly from the region. This guarantees short transport distances and saves CO2. Every HUF house that leaves the factory in the Westerwald is awarded the Golden and, if desired, the Platinum Badge of the German Council for Sustainable Construction.
