Energy efficiency and heating planning initiatives announced in Austria and Germany

Messe Wels has announced a new hall concept for the 2027 Energiesparmesse in Austria. The restructuring aims to reflect the increasing interconnectedness of building technology, including heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitary systems, photovoltaics, energy management, and e-mobility. The new layout will group related technologies to allow professional visitors to compare complete technical solutions rather than isolated products.

In Lübeck, Germany, the municipal climate office and the “bewirk – Gemeinsam fürs Klima” initiative are hosting an information evening on November 12, 2026. The event focuses on reliable and climate-friendly heating solutions for buildings located outside future district heating areas. Discussions will cover the use of shared heat pumps and small-scale heat networks for multiple buildings to overcome space and cost constraints in densely populated urban quarters.
