Whether the provision of consumption data visualisation has an impact on energy consumption in rented apartments was investigated in a study by energy anthropologist Babette Peulicke Slott of the Danish Technological Institute. Here you can find out what her findings were and whether visualisations do actually have an effect on consumption behaviour and thus on energy consumption.
Professor Dr. Andreas Pfnür, of Darmstadt Technical University (TU Darmstadt), and noventic Managing Director Dr. Dirk Then discuss the noventic study, in which 1,000 tenants were asked about their role in climate protection in the housing industry. How great is their willingness to participate in residential housing climate protection? And what role do costs, automated processes, digitisation and sharing consumption data play?
CDU-Bundestagsabgeordneter Rüdiger Kruse und noventic-Geschäftsführer Dr. Dirk Then im Gespräch: Im Zentrum steht der Austausch von Politik und Wirtschaft zu aktuellen Entwicklungen und Herausforderungen in der Immobilienbranche.
In the future, the noventic group and tado° will jointly develop smart control solutions for the efficient use of heat energy in buildings. To this end, as one of the leading groups of companies for the climate-intelligent management of real estate noventic will invest in PropTech. As part of an ongoing round of investments noventic and existing shareholders will be investing a total of 38 million euros.
What challenges and opportunities will the EED throw up for housing companies? At the GdW WohnZukunftsTag (Future Living Day) 2021 noventic Managing Director Stephan Bause discussed this issue with KALO Managing Director Frank Reschke and SMARVIS Managing Director Stefan Gärtner.
The noventic group, pioneer of climate-smart real estate, is investing in the venture capital fund PropTech1, the European fund for the real estate industry’s untapped innovation potential. The venture capital fund has enabled the Group to gain systematic access to excellent research on real estate innovation and development trends throughout Europe.
In a panel discussion organised by the noventic group as part of this year’s Berlin Energietage, EU Commission Head of Unit Stefan Moser sets out the goals pursued by the Renovation Wave and how these will affect the German housing industry.
Sabine Nallinger, Executive Director of the Foundation 2°, and Dr. Dirk Then, Managing Director of the noventic group, discuss how the industry can economically implement the new requirements of the Green Deal EU in the building sector.
Germany's building stock is expected to be almost climate-neutral by 2050. To date the road to that goal has been very costly – and not successful enough. Now the GdW and the Economic Council are calling for a paradigm shift on the Federal Government's part.
The schoolchildren's initiative Plant-for-the-Planet was created in 2007 by nine-year-old Felix. His goal was to join together with children all round the world to plant trees and thereby contribute to saving the climate. The noventic group is glad to support this goal, and donated 2,500 trees at Christmas.
The reconciliation of climate protection and economic concerns is what Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, calls for in his opening speech at the 2020 Energy Transition Congress. His 20-point plan "Protecting the climate & strengthening the economy" lays the foundation for these concerns. The spotlight also falls on the real estate industry: how can the necessary efficiency potential in the building stock be realised through refurbishment concepts and digitisation? For the economy, Altmaier notes, the biggest problem is uncertainty, which could lead to a failure to make the investment needed. His approach is to create a clear framework over the long term, extending across several electoral terms.
From January 1st, 2021, CO2 emissions trading will be expanded to include the heating and transport sectors: This should make heating with fossil fuels such as oil and gas less attractive. In order to keep the increase in gross warm rents at an acceptable level, the discussion about the distribution of costs was initiated: The Federal Ministries for Finance, Environment and Justice propose that the costs incurred should be allocated to tenants to a maximum of 50 percent limit. Landlords should therefore bear half of the additional costs. The General Association of the German Housing Industry (GdW) warns: This could delay the necessary investments in energy-efficient renovations. The GdW relies on considering the cost allocation depending on the renovation status of the property.
