The city of Darmstadt and ENTEGA will provide information on the energy transition, building renovation and modern heating technology on November 18th
Which heating system is the right one for your home in the long term? What options does municipal heat planning offer, and how can homeowners future-proof their buildings? Answers to these questions will be provided on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at an information event hosted by the City of Darmstadt and ENTEGA. The evening, titled "Future-Proof Heat for Arheilgen – Energy Transition, Renovation & Heating Technology," begins at 6:00 p.m. at "Zum Goldnen Löwen" (The Golden Lion) at Frankfurter Landstraße 153.
The event is aimed primarily at homeowners in Arheilgen. Those interested from other districts of Darmstadt are also welcome. Registration is not required, but is recommended for better planning.
Municipal heat planning as a basis
This summer, the science city of Darmstadt completed its municipal heat planning. It outlines which solutions are suitable for a sustainable heat supply in the various districts of the city.
Now that the planning is complete, the next step is to communicate the results clearly and support citizens in their decisions.
“Following the publication of the municipal heat plan, implementation is now beginning. In this context, we would like to provide citizens with fundamental and comprehensive information,” explains Environmental Officer Michael Kolmer.
It is particularly important for property owners to gain clarity early on about possible heating solutions and the necessary steps for modernizing their buildings.
The city hopes the event will provide guidance and facilitate the first steps towards a sustainable heat supply.
Kolmer thanks ENTEGA AG and Effizienz GmbH for their cooperation on the event series.
Learn about heating technologies in the information van
In addition to lectures and information, the evening also offers the opportunity to learn more about different heating technologies.
Outside the venue, an information van from the heating technology manufacturer Buderus is set up. Various heating technologies will be presented there using models.
“We are pleased to be able to show visitors different heating technologies as models in the information van and thus establish a direct link to a possible implementation,” explains Antje Winter, Managing Director of ENTEGA Plus.
In addition, Effizienz GmbH presents further support services related to energy-efficient renovation and heating system modernization.
Energy Saving Commissioner Carsten Herbert as guest
Carsten Herbert, known as the "Energy Saving Commissioner", will once again be a speaker.
The author and YouTuber focuses on energy efficiency, heating technology, and energy-efficient building renovation. His emphasis is on explaining complex technical concepts in a clear and practical way.
In addition, experts from various Darmstadt initiatives are available for personal discussions.
Information booths will feature presentations from HeinerHeizungsoptimierung, HeinerSolarberatung, and Heiner*Energie. Visitors can learn about options for improving existing heating systems, the use of solar energy, and other questions related to energy supply.
The event will be recorded
Those who cannot attend in person should have the opportunity to find out about the content afterwards.
The event will be recorded and subsequently made available online. The recording, along with further information on municipal heat planning and heating options, will be published on the website of the Darmstadt Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation.
