From November 4th to 9th, Germany celebrated the “Week of the Heat Pump,” an initiative aimed at raising awareness about this sustainable heating technology. In Franconia, the Energy Agency of Northern Bavaria (EANB) took the lead in organizing the regional events, which attracted significant public interest.

Events for Citizens and Experts

The activities catered to a diverse audience, from curious citizens to local authorities and industry professionals. Public events featured engaging presentations, interactive workshops, and best-practice examples, offering attendees reliable insights into the technology, regulatory frameworks, and funding options for heat pump installations. A notable emphasis was placed on incorporating heat pumps into renovation projects.

Participants also explored a “market of possibilities,” where they connected with regional manufacturers, energy advisors, and other experts to discuss practical applications and solutions.

EANB hosted two major events in Kulmbach and Erlangen, drawing over 1,200 attendees. Additionally, eight smaller, targeted events were designed for local authorities and experts to network and exchange knowledge on specialized topics.

Community Engagement and Positive Reception

The overwhelming response in Franconia highlighted the public’s growing interest in sustainable heating solutions. The events not only enhanced awareness but also fostered regional collaboration and dialogue around energy-efficient technologies.
