Lecture series on energy-efficient refurbishment: three dates in April

How can homeowners renovate their buildings in a future-proof, energy-efficient and economically sensible way? Answers to these and other questions are provided by a new series of lectures on the topic of "Energetic Refurbishment", organised by the Borken Climate Circle together with the local authorities and the Borken District Craftsmen's Association.

In 2026, the Borken climate district will focus on municipal heating planning. This year, the district and its cities are once again focussing on energy-efficient refurbishment measures in order to advance the heating transition, reduce energy consumption and strengthen climate protection.

Three dates in April - practical and easy to understand

The cities of Bocholt, Rhede and Isselburg are organising three consecutive lectures in April. The speaker is Ralf Sparwel, guild master for plumbing and heating and certified energy consultant. He will impart in-depth knowledge, provide specific recommendations for action and demonstrate practical solutions for homeowners. The presentations start at 6 pm and are expected to end at 8 pm.
