Heating in corona times

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?

This is a question that concerns industry and local authorities. But operators of exhibition, event and sports halls also need answers. A tried and tested and very simple principle plays an important role here: infrared. This heat radiation is evenly distributed to the areas of the room used via ceiling heating systems without generating air movement. And they can be connected to an external fresh air supply system if regular ventilation is not possible.

Diese Infrarot-Heizungen reduzieren übrigens gleichzeitig die Energiekosten und senken umweltfreundlich die CO₂-Emissionen. Nicht selten auf die Hälfte der vorherigen Werte. Bei einem großen Textilmaschinenunternehmen in Mönchengladbach waren dies beispielsweise über 65 Prozent. In Gebäuden mit großen Raumvolumina wie in Hallen schlägt dies auch in Sachen CO₂-Bepreisung günstig zu Buche.

  • How is energy used correctly? What does efficiency mean? In the German government's current energy policy, there is a huge gap between aspiration and reality. After all, industrial buildings are not treated as industrial buildings because they only account for two percent of buildings - even though they are responsible for 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. The latter has not played a role to date. Behind this two percent are 420,000 to 480,000 hall buildings that are used in industry, commerce and municipalities as production halls, logistics halls, workshops, sports halls or sales outlets. A small number that is responsible for a significant proportion of energy consumption and GHG emissions in Germany.
  • The horrendous rise in energy prices, the fear of Putin stopping supplies, the demand for renewable energies to combat climate change - all of this is currently causing a great deal of uncertainty. Is it still worth investing in gas-powered industrial heating systems? The answer to this question is important. Because it determines how quickly trade and industry will make their contribution to the energy transition. And how well it will be possible to meet the future requirement of climate protection in an economically viable way.
  • 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.
  • The BMWK is currently causing a stir with a draft bill. This is because it involves a categorical ban on gas heating systems. According to the plan, from 2024, only heating systems powered by 65 % renewable energies may be used. Formally, this can only be heat pumps, district heating or biomass heating. This raises the question: what about the openness of technology in Germany? And who should pay for it? Decentralized gas-powered heating systems are often the only economically and functionally viable solutions, especially in hall buildings.
