Discover how Den Haag is reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability with heating cushions for terraces. Learn about the city’s subsidy program for hospitality businesses to adopt eco-friendly outdoor heating alternatives like Sit & Heat.
Den Haag, known for its vibrant city life and sustainable initiatives, is making significant strides in promoting clean energy. Among its many projects, the transition to clean heating for terraces is a key focus, reflecting the city’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and amplifying environmental sustainability.
The Hague's commitment to sustainability is anchored in the more sustainable use of resources, which includes clean energy for homes and buildings, clean transport, a clean living environment and more sustainable use of resources. The city's initiatives are not only limited to buildings and transport, but extend to public and private outdoor spaces, including popular restaurant terraces. And in the Netherlands in general, Dutch households are becoming mandatory from 2026 To choose more sustainable alternatives, such as heat pumps or connection to heat networks, when replacing central heating systems.
Grants and funding options are available to facilitate this transition.
The concept of Green Energy Neighbourhoods in The Hague is another important part of the city's sustainable initiatives. These neighbourhoods exemplify energy-efficient buildings, extensive use of solar panels and other clean energy methods. They serve as an inspiration and practical model for the rest of the city, demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of transitioning to renewable energy sources for both residential and commercial properties.
Specifically for patio heating, Hague encourages the switch from traditional gas heaters to cleaner alternatives. Heated cushions, which are more efficient and produce no direct emissions, are recommended as a suitable solution for heating outdoor spaces. Sit & Heat specialises in customised heating cushions for hospitality businesses and has already provided more than 1,600 terraces in the Netherlands and Europe with sustainable terrace heating. The city is encouraging businesses and residents to start using these clean heating options, in line with wider goals to reduce CO2 emissions and the improve air quality.
Terrace heating, especially in a city known for its terraces and international social scene, plays an important role in the city's carbon footprint. Traditional gas heaters are ineffective and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. By switching to heat pads or other sustainable heating technologies, The Hague aims to achieve several environmental and economic benefits:
Reduce Carbon Emissions:Sit & Heat's heat cushions have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to gas heaters, especially when running on renewable energy. These cushions use minimal electricity and are equipped with smart sensors that automatically switch off the heating when not in use, ensuring energy efficiency.
Improve Air Quality: Unlike gas stoves that produce combustion emissions, electric heat pads do not emit pollutants, contributing to cleaner air in densely populated urban areas.
Promote Sustainability: The switch to heat cushions is part of The Hague's broader goal of promoting a sustainable and environmentally conscious culture among its residents and businesses. This initiative is not only in line with the city's sustainability goals, but also sets an example for other cities.
Energy Efficiency: heat pads are designed to deliver heat directly to people, requiring less energy to heat the surrounding air. This method ensures efficient use of energy and significant cost savings for companies.
Lower Environmental Impact: The lower environmental impact of heat pads includes no direct emissions, lower energy consumption, improved efficiency and a long lifespan with minimal maintenance.Enhanced Customer Experience:: heat pads offer a personalised heating experience, allowing guests to set their own heat level. This improves comfort and increases the usability of outdoor spaces all year round, transforming cold and empty city spaces into vibrant and economically viable hotspots.
The transition to clean heating on terraces is part of The Hague's broader strategy to become one of the most sustainable cities in Europe. Plans continue, with ongoing improvements and new technologies being integrated to ensure the city meets its ambitious environmental targets.
To support this transition, The Hague is offering grants of up to €2,500 for companies investing in energy-saving and sustainable heating solutions. Find out how you can benefit from this programme here:

What do Sit & Heat and Manchester United have in common? Both teams know how to fan the flames when it really matters.
Sit & Heat is proud to announce a great partnership with Manchester United Football Club. We have created custom-made heated business seats that now occupy a beautiful place in the stands at Old Trafford, Manchester United's famous home ground. The most dominant team in English football history. From Busby's babes to Ten Hag's talents, this global club has partnered with Sit & Heat to provide unparalleled hospitality, warmth and comfort to their valued guests.
This project was a unique collaboration between Sit & Heat, Arena Seating and our UK sales team, Anthony Gerard and Stuart Hardy. Initial discussions with Gary Hebblewhite, Manchester United's stadium director, were not only exciting but also inspiring. It sparked genuine interest and commitment to sustainably improve the seats of business members with the innovative heating systems From Sit & Heat. Manchester United understands that heating people and not the air is a good solution for the planet.
Imagine football legend Sir Alex Ferguson overseeing his club from the new luxury Sit & Heat seats in the Theatre of Dreams. While the opponent is facing an icy match, the battle against the cold is easily won in the stands. In the debut match with Sit & Heat, Man United recorded a resounding 2-1 victory at home against Chelsea. Coincidence? We don't think so. It was a scorching performance from a team that warms things up both on and off the pitch.
According to punters, Sit & Heat seats are United's biggest acquisition this season since Rasmus Højlund. In addition to the 40 heated seats already in place for the technical staff, another 220 business seats were carefully installed. The collaboration required good planning and execution, given the club's busy match schedule. Between Premier League, EFL Cup and Champions League matches, Sit & Heat finished the job without the need for 'Fergie time'
The 220 business seats were housed at Sit & Heat for an away game and then returned to Manchester. The seats underwent a full upgrade by our skilled manufacturing and design team in the Netherlands before being reinstalled at Old Trafford. Sit & Heat's CEO, Jorg Rijkschroeff, and CCO, Jeroen Diks, spent time at the stadium several times for meetings, on-site management and installation. The project was completed within a tight schedule during the season. The international break, coupled with back-to-back away games, provided the ideal time to carry out the Sit & Heat upgrade. The project was finally completed in time for Manchester United's home match with Chelsea on 6 December 2023.
Sit & Heat's newly installed seats offer extreme comfort and the best view in the stadium. They are the only fully upholstered seats at Old Trafford and have been specially made for United's legends. David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Roy Keane can now stay warm during winter matches while watching their beloved Red Devils. They can control their heat with three heating levels and adjust the temperature as they wish, depending on what they watch on the pitch. Defensive, balanced, attacking - control your heat on your own seat with Sit & Heat.
This partnership is another major Champions League client for Sit & Heat, adding to the company's impressive portfolio that includes PSG, PSV, Feyenoord and now includes Manchester United. Asked if this is a significant milestone in Sit & Heat's journey, Jorg Rijkschroeff happily replied, "It's a great club to present and we aim to do a lot more in the UK and specifically at Old Trafford as we continue this partnership with Man United. We have exciting innovations in store and are always looking for new opportunities for our professional football clients."
As you can imagine, Sit & Heat is obviously very happy with the result - another world-famous club to work with and another top result. United has a global fan base and has had some of the biggest names in football in its history. Now the Class of '96 and the rest can enjoy the best seats at Old Trafford with Sit & Heat. And while we eagerly await feedback from football legends such as Scholes, Giggs, Becks and Cantona, Gary Neville is no doubt expected to have something great to say about the Sit & Heat upgrade at Manchester United.
In the vibrant city of Eindhoven, where culinary creativity and innovation converge, a remarkable collaboration has taken place between Dinner Domes Eindhoven and Sit & Heat. This unique collaboration not only offers an unforgettable culinary experience in the atmospheric domes, but also introduces Sit & Heat's pioneering heat pads to keep guests warm even on cold nights.
Dinner Domes are an emerging trend in the hospitality industry, where guests can enjoy an intimate and exclusive dining experience in translucent, dome-shaped 'domes'. This unique setting not only offers protection from bad and cold weather, but also creates a magical atmosphere perfect for special occasions or just a cosy dinner under the stars.
In Eindhoven, the Dinner Domes have taken this experience to the next level by partnering with Sit & Heat. Our innovative heating pads fit perfectly into the domes and offer pleasant warmth to guests, allowing them to enjoy their dinner in comfort.
Paul van Boxtel has taken the initiative to set up the Dinner Dome concept in Eindhoven. At the foot of the majestic Sint-Catharinakerk church, you will find the cosy Dinner Domes near Thomas Eindhoven. Paul has a first with this initiative, as these are the first Dinner Domes ever in the Netherlands! So the Dinner Domes are a truly unique experience!
Sit & Heat is known for its advanced heat cushions that provide pleasant warmth regardless of the outside temperature. With wireless heat technology, guests can take a seat on the wonderfully warm seats, ensuring a pleasant feeling. The use of sustainable and energy-efficient materials makes Sit & Heat not only comfortable, but also environmentally friendly.
The collaboration between Dinner Domes Eindhoven and Sit & Heat shows how innovation and attention to comfort can go hand in hand in the hospitality industry. It is not just a meal, but a complete experience that stimulates the senses and gives guests an unforgettable evening.
In a world where climate change is a constant threat, district heating is emerging as a crucial focus for climate action. However, cities are struggling with significant obstacles in their efforts to be climate neutral cities by 2030. At Sit & Heat, we work closely with governments, cities and municipalities to bridge the gap between climate plans and actual climate action, especially in the field of sustainable heating. We are convinced that this transition is not only an opportunity to combat climate change, but also to improve the quality of life of our citizens and the health of our planet.
In the face of climate change and ever higher but certainly lower temperature spikes, a pressing question arises: How can we combat the cold effectively and sustainably without exacerbating the problem we want to address? This challenge has us completely in its grip and is the reason for our journey been to come up with heating solutions that are part of the solution, not the problem. This is where we are firmly aligned with governments and cities on our path to NetZero.
Sit & Heat is immensely proud to support Europe's ambition to become climate neutral. We are actively involved in the NetZeroCities project, which is in line with the EU's mission to achieve 100 climate-neutral European cities by 2030. NetZeroCities helps cities tackle specific problems on their way to climate neutrality by 2030 by offering tailored expertise and services.
Alongside our ongoing product innovation, our journey begins with strong partnerships with governments, cities and municipalities. In these partnerships, we work closely together, to transform the transition from emission-intensive heating systems to our sustainable heat solutions. Through these important partnerships, we seek to provide accessible and sustainable heating solutions offer, not only in the Netherlands but worldwide. Our mission is fitting well into the picture of creating 'Net zero cities' across Europe, uniting to meet emission reduction targets and create smart cities for the future.
Cities have a significant influence not only in meeting climate targets set by international frameworks such as the COP21 Paris Agreement, but also in ensuring that our reduction efforts are equitable and contribute to the well-being of European citizens. Although cities occupy only 4% of the EU's land area, they house 75% of EU citizens, consume more than 65% of the world's energy and are responsible for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions, according to The Net Zero Cities Project.
Cities occupy a unique position as forerunners of climate action and innovation on a global scale. While change can be daunting, Sit & Heat sees this transition as an opportunity to bring about positive change. We strongly believe in the ability of cities to explore new ways of living and working while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, starting with one of the most energy-intensive and carbon-producing activities: heating. We continue to work with cities to ensure that measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are equitable and enhance the well-being of European citizens.
Cities reap multifaceted benefits from Sit & Heat's innovative solutions. In addition to environmental benefits, our heating innovations contribute to the economic health of urban areas. Across Europe, what were once barren winter terraces have blossomed into lively and convivial hotspots, attracting more and more customers during the colder months for a drink or a bite to eat. This increase in visitors leads to higher revenues for both businesses and governments, creating a mutually beneficial relationship. More hospitality translates into more tourism and a host of benefits for cities and regions.
Addressing emissions reductions often reveals a gap between businesses and governments, where plans are difficult to implement and change proceeds at a slow pace. Our work provides expertise to cities, governments and businesses to enable the implementation of their stated goals. Sit & Heat tailors programmes and packages to easily fit cities' plans and budgets and work in accordance with established regulations and guidelines. Contacting us is easy and cities have done so with ease.
Our cooperation with governments has made progress, from our participation in the European Green Capital initiative in Nijmegen to our collaboration in The Hague. We currently have several projects underway with local governments and municipalities in Eindhoven, Leiden, Utrecht, Zandvoort, Breda, Haarlem, Apeldoorn and beyond. By revolutionising the way we heat our terraces in cities, we are having a significant impact on emissions. This marks a step forward in Sit & Heat's mission to make heating more sustainable.
In the Green Hospitality Challenge, we are joining forces with the city's hospitality industry to make over 20 terraces more sustainable. Our introduction of innovative heating pads, designed to minimise heat loss to the outside air, promises remarkable energy savings of up to 95%. This is an important step towards achieving net-zero cities. The Green Hospitality Challenge in Arnhem led to increased awareness among hospitality operators and customers about the significant energy consumption associated with gas or electricity heating. This has resulted in impressive savings of 224,400 kWh and 66,659 kg of CO2.
Sit & Heat is proud to have supported Nijmegen in achieving the title "European Green Capital" in 2018. By spreading our innovative heating products throughout the city, we have actively contributed to increasing environmental awareness in the city. Sit & Heat continues to work closely with cities and municipalities on sustainable solutions. Such projects align seamlessly with the broader mission to achieve climate neutrality and create climate-neutral cities by 2030.
Our steadfast commitment to tackling climate challenges through personalised heating, as opposed to ambient air heating, has earned recognition. In particular, we have received the support of the King of the Netherlands, who was deeply impressed by our approach to this pressing problem. By collaborating with numerous municipalities, local citizens have gained access to our products through subsidies. This collaborative process often includes upgrading outdoor heating systems, replacing emitting gas stoves and expensive electric heaters with our heated seats. This optimisation not only improves heating but also the look, benefiting both businesses and the local community.
Europe has taken a clear stance on climate action and ambitious climate targets. Initiatives such as the Horizon Europe research and innovation programmes, the European Green Deal and the EU mission "100 climate-neutral cities by 2030" are pushing Europe towards a sustainable future.
Sit & Heat is committed to turning climate plans into action, especially in the field of sustainable heating. This journey offers an opportunity to combat climate change and improve lives. Through innovative heating solutions and partnerships with governments and cities, we are redefining heating and paving the way to a greener future. Cities, although small in land area, have enormous potential as beacons of change. Our journey from climate plans to climate action shows the collective progress in our mission to create a better, sustainable future.
An increasing number of municipalities in the Netherlands are aware of the importance of sustainability and want to work towards a sustainable future. One of the measures municipalities are taking to contribute to a more sustainable society is the provision of subsidies for catering entrepreneurs who want to make their terraces more sustainable.
A good example is the municipality of Nijmegen, which during the corona pandemic started making subsidies available to make terraces more sustainable. The aim of these subsidies was to encourage hospitality entrepreneurs to purchase energy-efficient and sustainable terrace heating to replace outdoor heating in the form of heaters (gas-fired and electric) on large terraces. After great success, this was taken up by several municipalities in the area.
Other municipalities such as Breda, Waalwijk, Haarlem and Eindhoven followed Nijmegen's example and started making subsidies available. Eindhoven municipality was aware of the need to reduce CO2 emissions and make the city more sustainable. An important part of this is reducing emissions from traditional heaters on terraces of hospitality entrepreneurs. Initially, however, the municipality was not fully aware of the seriousness of the problem. Sit & Heat therefore conducted research into the amount of pollution caused by traditional heaters in the city. The results of this study were shocking and showed how harmful traditional heaters are to the environment. The municipality of Eindhoven recognised the importance of doing something about this and therefore decided to partner with Sit & Heat to promote sustainable patio heating.
Subsidies offer many advantages for hospitality operators. After all, buying sustainable patio heating can be a hefty investment. Thanks to subsidies, however, this investment becomes a lot more attractive and entrepreneurs can switch to sustainable solutions more easily. Moreover, sustainable patio heating is much more energy-efficient than traditional heaters, leading to lower energy costs for the entrepreneur. In addition, replacing traditional heaters with sustainable patio heaters is better for the environment, which fits within the sustainability strategy of more and more municipalities and entrepreneurs.
Together with municipalities such as Nijmegen, Breda, Waalwijk, Haarlem and Eindhoven, we want to encourage catering entrepreneurs to invest in sustainable terrace heating. Making subsidies available makes it more attractive for entrepreneurs to switch to sustainable alternatives such as our Sit & Heat heat pads. We are proud that, with our of heat pads can help reduce CO2 emissions and promote sustainable hospitality operations in the Netherlands.
Are you curious whether there are subsidy opportunities in your municipality? Or would you like to talk to us about the possibility of a subsidy in your municipality? Then please here contact us.

Representing the elegance of Japanese hospitality, Hotel Okura has long been a symbol of quiet excellence and we were keen to uphold this tradition with our project. Our attention to detail resulted in Sit & Heat's custom-made chair cushions, designed specifically for the seating on Serre's picturesque canal-side terrace. These battery-powered cushions offer guests wonderful comfort that perfectly complements the soothing surroundings. Decorated with an exclusive fabric and colour, featuring the Serre logo, these cushions now an important addition to the delightful ambience of Serre's terrace.

Located in the middle of the breathtaking Austrian Alps, Pepper Collection is an impressive ensemble of chalets that embrace Alpine luxury. In collaboration with Moonich, Sit & Heat embarked on a project to enhance Pepper Collection's outdoor terrace. We created an inviting space where guests can enjoy delicious food outdoors, in the warmth of our Sit & Heat modified chairs. Whether you are looking for a winter holiday with guaranteed snowfall or a summer retreat in the Austrian Alps, Pepper Collection is the place to be.

Located in the heart of Lech, the Pepper Collection represents an exclusive stay in the Alps. Designed for cosy gatherings, these private chalets offer tranquillity and luxury. Pepper Collection creates an unrivalled chalet holiday experience in Lech am Arlberg, the picturesque mountain village and exclusive ski resort cherished by locals and tourists alike. This prime location proudly offers ski-in/ski-out in winter and personalised concierge services. The accommodation comprises several chalets and flats, suitable for groups of 2 to 30 guests, making it perfect for those looking for the ideal balance between nature and comfort.
In 2020, Pepper Collection approached our partners at Moonich asking them to heat their terrace. Although they had considered several options, they could not find the right solution. Discovering Sit & Heat's innovative approach to outdoor heating brought relief. We then set about developing a product that would meet Pepper Collection's unique requirements without replacing their original furniture or affecting the picturesque Alpine landscape. They had a beautiful large dining table with chic chairs that they wanted to heat. Their appreciation for their existing furniture and their surroundings matched our sustainable principles, leading to a highly customised modern retro installation.
Our approach to this project was characterised by attention to detail. We seamlessly integrated heating pads for the backrest and base in their existing luxury outdoor seating, providing a sleek design. Each chair was equipped with our innovative heating pads, powered by efficient 6800 mAh batteries. We managed to seamlessly integrate the control panel and battery so that nothing was visible. It was an elegant arrangement that matched the Sit & Heat philosophy of 'press and feel the heat'. In total, the project provided 37 chairs with back and seat heating pads, along with Sit & Heat battery holders and batteries.
The journey of this project went from picturesque Lech to Nijmegen and back. When the chairs arrived at Sit & Heat, we fitted them with our state-of-the-art heating systems and sent them back to Pepper Collection, where they have been keeping guests nice and warm high in the Alps ever since. The chairs made a small but memorable journey, culminating in a wonderfully warm result. For our partners in Germany, it was a unique experience, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Karin Vink said, "It was a pleasure to coordinate this project." Her team led the project while the Sit & Heat team at our headquarters in Nijmegen handled production.
Pepper Collection's project presented unique challenges arising from the Alpine environment with its specific location and climate. The solution had to be effective, durable, user-friendly and of the highest quality. The project required teamwork, planning and innovative thinking, which is well within our capabilities as heating experts. Together, we found a solution that not only met but exceeded Pepper Collection's expectations. As winter covers the region with pristine snow, our chairs warm their guests. We are excited to continue bringing warmth and comfort to more extreme outdoor spaces, so that every moment spent in Alpine luxury is delightful and memorable.
At Sit & Heat, we are passionate about creating solutions that make outdoor living more enjoyable, even on the coldest days. Our of heat pads are designed to ensure that your seat and legs always stay wonderfully warm, without having to worry about finding a socket or freezing in the cold.
But how do our heat pads actually work? The secret lies in the technology built into each cushion. Each cushion contains a set of electric heating elements built into the cushion itself. These elements are powered by an internal battery that is charged before the cushion is used. Once the cushion is switched on, it the battery used to drive the heating elements and produce heat.
One of the main advantages of our technology is that our heat cushions are completely wireless. This means they can be used at any time and in any location, without having to have a power socket nearby. Whether you are on a terrace, in a park, or just relaxing at home, our heat cushions are the perfect solution to beat the cold.
Moreover, our heat pads are also safe and efficient. The cushions are designed to switch off automatically when not in use, making them safe to use. Moreover, the heating elements use little energy, which means that the battery lasts longer than when using a portable heater, for example.
Finally, our heat pads are not only functional but also stylish. They are available in different colours and fabrics, so you can always find one that suits your taste. The cushions are also lightweight and easy to carry, making them ideal for outdoor use.
At Sit & Heat, we pride ourselves on providing our customers with the best solutions to stay comfortable while outdoors, whatever the weather.

Making the restaurant's terrace even more fun, warm and inviting are Sit & Heat's colourful heated outdoor seating. The Maaskantine team wanted an energy-efficient and eco-friendly outdoor heating option that was easy to install. They also didn't want to disturb their vibrant decor and incredible views of Rotterdam's cityscape, which we completely understood.
So we worked with the Maaskantine to create a heated terrace that is super hip and comfortable. For this, we used Nimma chair cushions to create a flexible, cordless and cosy environment for their customers. The warmth of our chairs is especially nice during colder days or nights, when guests can still enjoy the entire outdoor terrace without feeling the chill of the Meuse River. The owners opted for different bright colours in Agora Liso which is known for its durability and UV resistance, super ideal when you're on the Maas in Rotterdam.

The Maas Canteen were looking for a colourful addition to their fun interior, so Roel de Vries, our experienced hospitality expert, worked with the Maakantine team to deliver exactly the look they were looking for. The end product is a colourful terrace and riverside that is a delight to see and experience. Our heated cushions are a great success during their special outdoor events and movie nights.
At the Maaskantine, you can enjoy delicious BBQ dishes inspired by the American coast, and sip refreshing lemonades and cocktails. Rotterdam's best views are included in the experience, all while enjoying the warmth and comfort of our Sit & Heat cushions. So next time you're in Rotterdam, head to the Maaskantine and experience urban relaxation at its best, especially when sitting on Sit & Heat's heated cushions.
