Energy Efficiency Initiative: Making Your Home Energy-efficient for Tomorrow
The Mettmann District and the Consumer Center NRW have teamed up to offer a comprehensive energy-saving support programme, starting from September 2025. This initiative, known as the 'Special Action 'Energy Saving'', aims to help homeowners and private landlords in Langenfeld reduce their energy consumption and costs.
The heart of this programme is the individual energy efficiency consultation, which involves a 90-minute walkthrough of the property by an energy consultant. During this visit, the consultant will identify energy weak points in the building using thermal imaging, providing a solid basis for concrete follow-up measures.
One of the key features of this programme is the energy consultation offered by the Consumer Center NRW. This consultation does not require residents to order an energy report from the Mettmann District. Instead, for a fee of 40 euros, paid in cash directly to the consultant on-site, participants will receive a written report detailing tailored recommendations for renovation and tips on funding.
Jens Hecker, Climate Protection Officer of the Mettmann District, emphasizes that energy saving solutions vary for each house. He explains, 'Every home is unique, and so are its energy needs. Our aim is to provide personalized advice to help residents make their homes more energy-efficient and sustainable.'
Isabelle Uebach, an energy consultant from the Consumer Center in Langenfeld, adds, 'Our consultation is aimed at homeowners and private landlords who are eager to reduce their energy bills and contribute to climate protection. We provide practical advice and information on available funding options.'
The energy reports, which cost 59.50 euros, can be ordered online at www.climap.de/energiebericht. Registration for the action is possible since September 15, 2025. The consultations will take place until autumn 2025.
It's important to note that participation in the energy consultation offered by the Consumer Center NRW supplements the Mettmann District's energy report, providing a holistic approach to energy conservation.
The Mettmann District's energy report is based on a nearly comprehensive thermographic survey of the region, offering valuable insights into the energy efficiency of buildings in the district. This data serves as a foundation for the development of targeted energy conservation measures.
In conclusion, the 'Special Action 'Energy Saving'' initiative by the Consumer Center NRW and the Mettmann District offers a unique opportunity for Langenfeld residents to improve their homes' energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. Whether you're a homeowner or a private landlord, take advantage of this programme to make a positive impact on your wallet and the environment.
