The "Future-proof heating systems" project (German: “Zukunftswärme”) is developing information materials/fact sheets for building owners that can provide a comprehensible information basis as well as guidance and implementation assistance when selecting a sustainable heat supply system for their own building.

This project aims to close this key information gap. For people without expert knowledge, such as private homeowners, housing associations and owners' associations, comprehensible and target group-specific information materials as well as orientation and implementation aids in the form of factsheets were created and published. In addition to technological descriptions, these also deal with the heat generation costs, the environmental impact, the perspective relevance in the energy system and the interactions between the selected heating system and the building. The factsheets are intended to support various stakeholders in their decision-making process and thus contribute to the success of the heating transition.
