Renovation Costs
The costs of energy related measures and the costs of other measures to adapt the library to today’s requirements are provided by different funds. The total cost of the project is about 7,2 Mio EUR. 5,6 Mio EUR will be spent for the different retrofit measures. These costs are mainly covered by the ZIP, a federal program for sustainable development. The University of Bremen raises credits to cover the remaining costs. These credits are foreseen to be paid back by energy cost savings.

About two third of the retrofit costs are linked to measures on the building's internal systems. About 16% of the costs are for measures on the facade.
