Understanding heat supply before optimising: Many existing buildings lack reliable data on the actual performance of their heating systems, which makes any optimisation a shot in the dark. This article shows why digital heating monitoring is becoming the foundation of modern operations management: it creates transparency about the real condition of the system, enables data-based decisions and is a prerequisite for effective, economically viable efficiency measures in the housing industry.
Bei den Berliner Energietagen 2025 standen praxistaugliche und kosteneffiziente Technologien für den Gebäudebestand im Mittelpunkt. Experten aus der Wohnungswirtschaft zeigten auf, wie sich mit geringem Investitionsaufwand im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes messbare Energieeinsparungen erzielen lassen.
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?
