EVVE Joins the Bring Heat Home Campaign to Promote Sustainable Heating and Cooling

We are proud to announce our participation in the Bring Heat Home campaign, a significant initiative aimed at transforming Europe’s heating and cooling sector towards sustainability and efficiency.

Heating and cooling your home means staying warm, taking a hot shower, and keeping your loved ones safe in the event of a heatwave. These are simple gestures providing health and comfort that most of us take for granted. A safe and comfortable home starts with clean heating and cooling, the same goes for a secure, competitive and sustainable Europe.

In recent years, the high share of imported fossil fuels in heating and cooling has driven soaring energy bills affecting European households and industries. For a growing proportion of citizens, it has become a problem for making ends meet. For a growing proportion of European cities, it has become a threat for energy security and competitiveness.

The EU Energy and Housing Commissioner has the important task to decarbonise heating and cooling and bring energy prices down. In this context, making clean heating and cooling solutions and building renovations more accessible and affordable for all must be a priority.

Sofia Lettenbichler, Managing Director of EVVE, emphasizes the organization’s commitment to the campaign:

“EVVE supports the Bring Heat Home campaign for affordable, efficient heating. At EVVE, we champion energy data management in buildings, empowering consumers to save energy and cut costs.”

A central aspect of this transition is enhancing efficiency through energy data management within buildings. By providing consumers with precise insights into their energy usage, they are empowered to make informed decisions, leading to reduced consumption and cost savings. Heat submetering plays a vital role in this framework, providing precise consumption data that promotes energy-conscious behaviours among occupants while enabling efficiency gains through advanced technological solutions reliant on metering data.

The Bring Heat Home campaign underscores several key objectives:

Affordable Housing and Energy for All: Promoting the decarbonisation and reduction of heating and cooling demands is key to protect Europeans and industries from rising energy prices.
Keeping Cool in Heated Times: Faced with recurrent heatwaves, we must anticipate the growing demand for cooling in Europe to avoid another environmental disaster.
Climate Action: Heating and cooling represent 80% of buildings’ energy consumption and 60% of industries’ total energy needs.
Energy Security and Competitiveness: Actively promoting the replacement of fossil-fuel boilers and home renovations gives the European Union a unique opportunity to regain its energy sovereignty and competitiveness.

By joining with the Bring Heat Home campaign, EVVE reinforces its dedication to fostering a sustainable, energy-efficient future for Europe. Now is the time to advance towards a climate-neutral building stock, ensuring comfort and affordability for all European citizens and to bring heat home!
