The show delivers a concentrated local audience of homeowners, landlords and renovators who are ready to commission work, not just browse.

Impact

A bigger and stronger platform

A three-day regional consumer show that concentrates roughly 120 local building and energy firms in one hall and pulls more than 10,000 visitors, most of them homeowners with an active or near-term project.

Audience quality

High-value decision-makers

The audience is local and purchase-minded rather than international: homeowners, landlords and renovators from Braunschweig and the surrounding districts who come to compare quotes. Volume is strong for a regional fair, but reach is concentrated in southern Lower Saxony.

Exhibitor outcomes

Real business growth

Best ROI comes from quoting on the stand and booking site visits within two weeks. With about 120 exhibitors sharing 10,000-plus visitors, each stand sees a meaningful flow of qualified homeowners; window, heating and solar firms report the strongest fit with the show's energy focus.

Intelligence

Market context

Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

Braunschweig, southern Lower Saxony, Germany

Why it matters

The Braunschweig region combines a large stock of owner-occupied housing with high energy prices and a push to replace fossil heating. A local fair compresses supplier discovery, funding advice and quote comparison into one weekend, which is why visitor numbers have stayed above 10,000.

Industry trends

Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

Heat pumps and solar move from niche to default

Homeowners are pairing heat pumps with photovoltaic roofs and battery storage to cut running costs, and exhibitors now present complete energy systems rather than single products.

What it changes: Firms that can design, install and service an integrated system win the quote, not just the boiler replacement.

Source

Windows and doors as the first retrofit step

Improved glazing, entrance doors and shading are being sold as the fastest way to cut heat loss and noise before deeper renovation.

What it changes: Window and door specialists are among the busiest stands, and the 2026 show made them a headline theme.

Source

Advice and funding literacy as a purchase driver

Visitors arrive with questions about KfW finance, subsidies and payback periods, so free talks and independent energy advice influence which supplier they shortlist.

What it changes: Exhibitors that explain funding clearly convert more on-stand conversations into site surveys.
