"No energy transition without energy efficiency" is the title of dena's "Topics and projects" section on its homepage "The best kilowatt hour is the one saved," says Thomas Kübler, Managing Partner of KÜBLER GmbH. Both mean the same thing: It's about curbing energy consumption in general and especially in companies. Because this is an enormous lever for achieving climate targets. And that's not all: energy efficiency also pays off economically if it is approached in the right technological way. Modern infrared heating technology plays an important role here, especially when it is intelligently combined with Bennwert technology.

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection has been honoring the commitment of industry and research to climate and environmental protection for many years with the IKU - the German Innovation Award for Climate and the Environment. The 21 nominees include many big names as well as a medium-sized company: KÜBLER GmbH from Ludwigshafen. It specializes in the development of energy-saving hall heating systems and entered the competition with HeizWerk, a smart solution package for industry. Behind this is nothing less than a clever concept for energy-efficient refurbishment in production, storage and other hall buildings without the need for capital expenditure.

Whether in industry or in private residential construction - anyone deciding on a heating system or hall heating of the future today is faced with a lot of question marks. Which energy scenarios will actually determine the future? Which technologies will then become relevant? Is it still worth investing in fossil-fuel systems? What does the traffic light say? And taking all these questions into account, what is the best functional and economical heating solution for the hall building in the long term?

Whether in metalworking shops, joineries, welding shops, car dealerships or railroad companies - workshop heating systems ensure warm working conditions in the workshops when it gets cold outside. But what requirements - apart from heat generation, of course - can you place on a modern heating system today? And what do you need to pay attention to if you want your investment to continue to pay off in many years' time?

Heating industrial and event halls economically and flexibly: radiant heaters are ideally suited for this job. An overview of how they work, types and possible applications.

Are you looking for an economical and sustainable heating system for your new building? Then you should invest enough time in planning. And avoid the following mistakes.

Whether concert fans, art lovers or party enthusiasts: the room temperature also determines the success of events. How hosts ensure a comfortable climate in event halls and exhibition rooms with hall heaters.

Outdated hall heating systems lead to horrendous heating costs and pollute the environment. Despite this, many operators shy away from investing in modernization. One possible solution: rented hall heating systems - heat-as-a-service!

Save energy costs and protect the environment: Dark radiant heaters are among the most efficient heating systems for halls that you can buy. But which infrared system is right for you? We give you an overview.

 The German government's targets are ambitious: by 2045, Germany is to be climate-neutral and dispense with fossil fuels in the production of heat. A target that is putting pressure on the industry. Numerous innovations are pushing for the switch to renewable energies - such as the German Fuel Emissions Trading Act (BEHG), which has led to an increase in CO₂-price for fossil fuels.

Do you want to get the most out of your new hall heating system, save energy costs and be prepared for the environmental laws of the future? Then it is advisable to consider a few tips before you buy. Find out which ones in this article.

Room volume, employee requirements, climate protection targets, heating costs and, and, and: When choosing the right heating system for your halls, you need to consider a whole range of factors. Read this article to find out what these are in detail and how you can master these challenges with a modern system.

Operators of indoor heating systems are also responsible for having their system serviced regularly. In addition to operational safety, there are other good reasons why maintenance should not be put on the back burner!

Like all sectors, industry must also do its part to protect the climate and combat global warming. An important point here is investing in energy-efficient, environmentally friendly heating systems. Read this article to find out the specific reasons for doing so.

The topic of Industry 4.0 is no longer a dream of the future. The digitalization of industrial processes is being talked about everywhere - and a new era has also dawned in the heating supply sector. Find out in this article what intelligent networking looks like for heating building complexes and what opportunities it opens up for you!

Ambitious climate protection targets and new building energy regulations pose challenges for companies. Especially when modernizing heating systems in hall buildings, you should rely on future technologies in order to meet the strict requirements.

Indoor buildings are a world of their own. Especially in winter. The high rooms pose a real challenge for anyone who wants to ensure the most pleasant working climate possible. But there are solutions - infrared hall heating, for example.

The energy issue has rarely been more explosive. Laws, standards and regulations pose challenges for almost all companies. Solutions are being sought with the aim of tapping into potential savings.

Whether in production halls or warehouses, many heating systems currently have a problem: they distribute viruses particularly well in the room. This is counterproductive for many hygiene concepts. But does this mean that heating systems have to stay cold this winter?

"Heating with the windows open" in private households is like "heating with the doors open" in production halls and warehouses. It's great if you can afford this in industry and commerce because production and business are obviously running - unfortunately, this is not a matter of course for many companies in times of coronavirus.

When production is running in the run-up to Christmas, nobody has time for heating control. The main thing is that it is nice and warm in the hall. Once set, the heating runs for the specified operating times.

Only around half of German companies are aware of their waste heat potential - this is what dena writes in its publication on waste heat utilization as part of the Energy Efficiency Initiative. This means that an estimated 226 TWh of usable heat goes unused every year. That is 36 % of the energy used by the entire manufacturing industry. Clearly, this costs companies an enormous amount of money, but at the same time the unused waste heat has a negative impact on the environment. Around 60 million tons of the greenhouse gas CO₂ are unnecessarily evaporated into the atmosphere every year. In view of rising energy costs and climate protection targets, companies simply can no longer afford to do this.

Almost all machines produce waste heat. Compressed air systems or curing ovens are at the forefront here, with enormous heat emissions. However, this usually dissipates unregulated in the building, which is annoying. On the one hand for the environment, but above all for business management. This is because a lot of energy is wasted in this way, which has to be paid for expensively elsewhere.

Not only politicians have pulled the ripcord, many companies are also planning to extend the Christmas break and shut down operations at least until the second week of January. Machines will be at a standstill for weeks and the doors to the factory buildings will remain closed.
