While the Christmas season is a time for joy and celebration, it is also a time when many individuals and families face challenges in fulfilling their wishes. It is therefore particularly gratifying when support is provided in a way that is responsive to identified needs. In 2024, the employees of the noventic group once again participated in the campaign „Aktion Tannenbaum“ organised by the Der Hafen hilft! association. This initiative aimed to bring a little Christmas joy to people in social institutions.
Poorly insulated' and #GivingWarmth are two slogans with which Hanseatic Help is drawing attention to the needs of Hamburg's needy. Exactly our theme. Because while the weather outside is miserable, we continue to work in the warmth to ensure that Germany finally heats in a climate-friendly way. But many people can neither make themselves a hot cup of tea nor turn up the thermostat to their heart's content.
That's why this year we're supporting the campaign of the charity Hanseatic Help together with employees, management and our canteen in Hamburg.
Experts and industry stakeholders alike agree that there is huge potential for energy savings in the existing building stock. However, without the professional housing industry the energy and heating transition cannot succeed. To date, though, real estate has lagged dramatically behind on the decarbonisation front, and much greater efforts will be needed to achieve the goal set by politicians of reducing all CO2 emissions to net zero by 2045 in Germany and by 2050 in Europe.
Mithilfe steigender Verbrauchstransparenz zu mehr Sparsamkeit kommen – und gleichzeitig mehr wohnungswirtschaftlichen Klimaschutz schaffen. Kann das funktionieren?
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.
The Erfurt noventic subsidiary QUNDIS successfully passed this year's review of its environmental management system. The company can therefore continue to bear the "EMAS seal" of the European Union. Since 2015, QUNDIS has been regularly certified with the seal for tested environmental management (EMAS) of the European Union.
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 Member of Parliament Rüdiger Kruse and noventic Managing Director Dr Dirk Then in conversation: The focus is on an exchange between politics and business on current developments and challenges in the property sector.
In the future, the noventic group and tado° will jointly develop smart control solutions for the efficient use of heat energy in buildings.
