KliBA is the Climate Protection and Energy Advice Agency for Heidelberg, Germany, and neighbouring municipalities. The Agency was founded in March 1997 as an independent energy advice agency for the Rhine-Neckar region.

KliBA has since expanded and a further fourteen cities and municipalities in the Rhine-Neckar and Sparkasse Heidelberg area around Heidelberg have signed a partnership contract. This guarantees that the 340.000 inhabitants living within these municipalities has access to an independent expert service on energy saving and climate protection.

The concept of a partnership contract was jointly agreed at the Heidelberg Energy Round Table by craftsmen and architects, housing associations, houseowners, flatowners, landowners, the tenants' association, non-governmental (NGOs) and various other organisations.

In the Eco n' Home project, KliBA will be involved primarily in experimentation within households.
