Rising demand for heating energy for German government buildings

Rheinische Post

Heating energy consumption in buildings of the German government has been increasing in recent years, rising from 111 kilowatt hours (kWh) per square metre in 2015 to 122.5 kWh in 2017, the Rheinische Post .聽 According the government鈥檚 answer to a parliamentary inquiry by the Green Party, heating energy consumption in government buildings is even higher than the national average for office buildings, which stands at roughly 95 kWh per square metre and year. 鈥淭he heating energy consumption of government buildings mirrors the failed energy policy of this government,鈥 Green politician Julia Verlinden said.

The rising consumption runs counter to government plans to lead by example and increase efficiency in the sector as part of Germany鈥檚 energy transition and to make government buildings more energy efficient. A planned commission for reducing Germany鈥檚 carbon footprint in the buildings sector will be set up 鈥渟oon,鈥 the interior ministry told 威力彩玩法.
