How heat supply works

On Saturday, 8 October, Stadtwerke Gießen and the municipality of Heuchelheim invite you to an open building site day in the Heuchelheim development area "Auf der Bölz". Here, the experts will explain the advantages of heat supply. They will also provide exciting insights into the construction of a heating network and a combined heat and power plant.

Giessen. Anyone deciding to build their own home today is quickly confronted with the question of the right heating system. It should be efficient and climate-friendly - and also cost-effective. Because their heating supply combines all these criteria in an ideal way, Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) invites you to an open day at the "Auf der Bölz" development area in Heuchelheim on Saturday, 8 October. The development work for the second construction phase is currently underway here.
At the construction site open day between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., SWG experts will inform potential building owners about the advantages of centrally generated heat compared to their own heating system - both economically and from an ecological point of view - and answer any questions on the subject. They will also show how a heating network is created. "Anyone who has ever seen the thick insulation around the pipes will understand why our heat supply is so efficient," explains Michael Rösner, Head of Private and Commercial Customer Sales at Stadtwerke Gießen. SWG is also opening the doors of its existing combined heat and power plant in the new development area to further increase understanding of this smart form of heating. Specialists from the heat supply department will guide interested parties through the plant, explain how it works and answer questions.
A visit to the open building site day is of course particularly worthwhile for potential builders who are thinking of building their own home in the "Auf der Bölz" development area or who have perhaps already purchased a plot of land. However, the event should also be worth a visit for other citizens interested in technology and climate protection due to the unusual insights it offers.
