<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-352eec78974391b54f82ad39f88e9772 wp-block-paragraph">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 systems (ETICS).</p>



<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7ec6d6f4a6ed8a636b7d7b3549127000 wp-block-paragraph">To test the effectiveness of our modules, we are looking for <strong>refurbishment projects with bat populations in Germany</strong> that can serve as test sites – whether public buildings or private homes. By participating, you will be making a direct contribution to species conservation, supporting science and observing how bats accept new roosts.</p>



<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-73b39bd719745d1d17fdba2ac8fd524d wp-block-paragraph"><strong><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#000000" class="has-inline-color">Your advantages at a glance:</mark></strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#000000" class="has-inline-color">You actively contribute to bat conservation.</mark></li>



<li><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#000000" class="has-inline-color">No costs for the roosts: the bat box modules are provided by the project and become your property.</mark></li>



<li><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#000000" class="has-inline-color">Knowledge about your neighbours: we will let you know which bat species are using your new roosts.</mark></li>



<li><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#000000" class="has-inline-color">Part of an innovative, nationwide project: You are supporting a pilot project that could set nationwide standards in species conservation during refurbishments.</mark></li>
</ul>



<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7414550ce8f1a87bfe1201ed4fdb0c2a wp-block-paragraph">Curious? You can find more information and the opportunity to participate in our project flyer. The flyer can be found on this page under &#8220;Download &amp; Documents&#8221; or under the <strong><a href="https://flausbau.de/en/infopoint/" data-type="page" data-id="162"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">info point</mark></a></strong>.</p>



<p class="has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dc48cd8b63cc340b11e2bc502e1d3155 wp-block-paragraph">If you would like to submit your refurbishment project as a test site, please contact us directly at: Flausbau@NABU-RLP.de</p>
