The status quo cannot continue: climate protection in apartment buildings must get smart!

Faced with rising rents and the current high energy prices, it is only a matter of time before the debate about limits in residential housing climate protection comes to a head. Clearly climate protection does not come for free. However, often this quickly gives way to the question of who is going to pay for it. The debate over whether tenants or landlords should pay the additional costs is understandable, but fails to get to the heart of the matter. This is also shown by the findings of a recent tenant study conducted for us by Professor Pfnür of Darmstadt Technical University.

noventic study: the role of the tenant in climate protection in residential housing.

Climate protection in the building sector needs quick successes. A study commissioned by the noventic group on the role of tenants in climate protection shows that tenants are willing to make greater climate protection efforts within their own four walls, provided the cost, convenience and simplicity are right. To achieve rapid CO2 savings, the 1,000 tenant households surveyed showed a high level of acceptance of both the automation of heating and hot water supply and sharing of their own consumption data.

Will the amended Heating Costs Ordinance lead to greater climate protection in the housing sector?

Today the discussion about more climate protection in rented housing has become overly focused on shifting costs and responsibility back and forth. In this context, digital climate protection technologies have long since provided solutions beneficial not only for the climate but also to tenants and landlords alike. All lawmakers have to do is create a safe, future-proof framework for everyone. A recent study conducted on our behalf by Andreas Pfnür, professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt, and Dr. Nikolas Müller, an engineer conducting post-doctoral research in the same faculty, found that many tenants are willing to make a substantial contribution to greater climate protection.
