Long-Term Habitat Solutions for Bats in Energy-Efficient Building Refurbishments
Our Vision
Uniting Climate Protection and Species Conservation
NABU Rhineland-Palatinate (NABU RLP) and the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) are collaborating to research practical solutions that effectively combine climate-friendly refurbishment with bat conservation.
The FLAUSBAU project aims to develope and conduct an innovative concept for integrating bat roosts into external thermal insulation composite systems.

First Meeting of the Project Advisory Group (PAG)
With the first meeting of the Project Advisory Group (PAG), a central component of the project’s technical and scientific support structure has been launched. Within projects funded by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, project advisory groups bring together a range of professional perspectives. The aim is to connect science, administration, practice, and planning […]
FLAUSBAU is seeking test locations: Become part of bat conservation during house refurbishments!
Bats are fascinating neighbours – they eat insects at night, thereby helping to reduce mosquitoes and other pests in a natural way. However, many old buildings are lost during energy-efficient refurbishments. This is where our FLAUSBAU research project comes in: we are developing modular bat boxes that are integrated directly into external thermal insulation composite […]
Combining climate protection and bat conservation: Successful completion of the FLAUSBAU pilot phase
Buildings are being renovated to save energy and protect the climate. This is important. However, for bats, this can be precisely where the problem lies. Many species use crevices and cavities in buildings as roosts. When these are sealed or removed during renovations, the animals lose their refuges – often permanently. This is where FLAUSBAU […]
