Data on heating technology and heat consumption: Berlin starts large survey!

Data on heating technology and heat consumption: Berlin starts large survey!

The district office Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin has started an important data collection, which lasts from December 2024 to March 2025. These measures aim to analyze the energetic state of renovation, heating technology and the heat consumption of buildings in the center of City-West. The data is collected by questionnaires that are sent to owners and property management to receive helpful information for heat planning in the district, such as berlin.de reported.

The examination area is limited by Leibnizstrasse in the west, Bismarckstrasse in the north and Hardenbergstrasse in the northeast. This measure takes place on the basis of the Berlin Energy Use and Climate Protection Act, which provides for the provision of anonymous data by real estate owners. The owners of home ownership communities are not obliged to provide their data available, but are asked for voluntary participation. This initiative is part of the efforts to better equip Berlin's building stock for future challenges of energy efficiency.

growing challenges in housing in Munich

In Munich, the authorities face an enormous challenge: the city is growing rapidly, and the need for affordable living space is still urged, as prosem-muenchen.de . The current situation is shown in a waiting list for subsidized apartments, which included more than 17,000 households in 2017, while only fewer than 4,000 could actually be conveyed. Rents have risen sharply, so that even families with average income have difficulty finding a suitable apartment.

The city therefore urgently needs new areas for the funded and price -damaged housing construction. Urban development measures (SEM) are sought to create apartments through public land that are not exposed to the price pressure of the free markets. In the coming years, the capacity for subsidized living space will drop drastically without serious measures to develop, which causes the city administration to actively promote the development of new concepts and strategic planning.
