Redesigned door hangers and temperature cards for residential use

"Hear Ye, Hear Ye! It's All About Eco Savvy Neuss!"

Here’s the lowdown on a hot new initiative that's taken root in Neuss, along with a few neighboring municipalities - Kaarst, Jüchen, Korschenbroich, Meerbusch, and Rommerskirchen. This campaign is all about empowering everyday citizens to get involved in selected districts.

Come February, a troop of friendly experts, easy to spot in their bright high-visibility vests emblazoned with "Rhein-Kreis Neuss," dark blue caps, and name tags, will be knocking on doors in districts like Neuss-Reuschenberg, Jüchen-Bedburdyck and -Gierath, Kaarst's Vogel quarter and parts of Holzbüttgen, Korschenbroich's Kleinenbroich and Herzbroich parts, Meerbusch's Büderich and Osterath, and Rommerskirchen-West, Nettesheim, and Butzheim.

These experts will pass out informative door hangers listing possible renovation measures and potential energy savings in these city and town districts. They'll also hand out ThermoCards to select energy-rennovation-needed single and two-family homes. These TÜV-certified postcards come with a built-in thermometer that can quickly and accurately identify heat bridges on buildings. Just press it against wall or window surfaces, and the card reveals temperature differences, highlighting energy weak spots. This nifty tool helps homeowners spot renovation needs and take the first steps to improving their property.

Dirk Brügge, District Director, stresses the significant renovation and savings potential in the private sector, crucial for meeting climate goals. Beyond facilitating access to funding programs, the focus is on simplifying information access and promoting effective implementation.

The experts will call some households a few days after leaving the door hanger to announce free online consultation appointments. They won't enter buildings, but interested parties can leave their contact details, and they'll be called back to arrange an appointment. The consultation covers potential renovation measures, costs, and funding opportunities and will follow up with online appointments via specialists.

Rhein-Kreis Neuss warns not all buildings in the mentioned districts will receive a door hanger and a ThermoCard.

Curious citizens from Neuss, Jüchen, Kaarst, Korschenbroich, Meerbusch, and Rommerskirchen can collect ThermoCards at local town halls or grab them for free via email at [email protected]. All interested property owners from the participating municipalities can also arrange an online consultation appointment for energy renovation, with Annika Lipke from the Klimaagentur Rhein-Ruhr as the contact person at [email protected] or 02041 / 7 73 94 14.

Other districts such as Neuss-Reuschenberg, Jüchen-Bedburdyck and -Gierath, Kaarst's Vogel quarter, parts of Holzbüttgen, Korschenbroich's Kleinenbroich and Herzbroich parts, Meerbusch’s Büderich and Osterath, and Rommerskirchen-West, Nettesheim, and Butzheim will also receive the visiting experts offering environmental-science tips, particularly regarding renewable-energy and energy savings.
The energy industry is taking an active role in this initiative, with the Rhein-Kreis Neuss experts providing ThermoCards, a TÜV-certified tool that helps homeowners identify heat bridges and energy weak spots in their properties.
In addition to the door-to-door visits, citizens can collect their free ThermoCards at local town halls or request them via email to join the eco-friendly movement.
To achieve the climate goals, the focus is not just on providing access to funding programs, but also simplifying information access and promoting effective implementation in the environmental-science field, including the finance sector, as emphasized by Dirk Brügge, District Director.
