The claim
A recent video, which has already been shared over 500,000 times on Facebook, makes a variety of claims in the context of Germany's two new energy saving regulations. It speaks of “energy police” and state surveillance.
Our conclusion
Both regulations state exactly what they are intended to do: energy savings in the building sector. The heating test is a one-off event in Germany that is supposed to be carried out by the relevant specialists as part of other precautionary measures - and is therefore not suitable for mass surveillance of European citizens. Many other claims are also FALSE.
The two new energy saving regulations that the German federal government recently passed are unsettling a lot of people. Many rumors and false claims are circulating online and especially on various social media channels. To represent all of this fake news, we watched a currently very popular video that makes a whole series of claims about energy saving regulations.
Energy saving regulations: fact check
A lot of things in the video were phrased polemically and manipulatively. We cannot go into these formulations in detail here. Instead, we will look at the factual claims in detail below.
The checkmark to the right of each claim opens the corresponding fact check:
🔵 Polemical and manipulative
🟢 True
🔴 False
🟡 Partly right or partly wrong
Conclusion
Some of the claims in the video are true, but many are only partially true, while the majority are false information. The analyzed video is not suitable for obtaining information about the two energy saving regulations that apply in Germany from September 1st and October 1st, 2022.
