Heating in corona times
March 5, 2021
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.
Incidentally, these infrared heaters also reduce energy costs and lower CO₂ emissions in an environmentally friendly way. Often by half of the previous values. At a large textile machinery company in Mönchengladbach, for example, the reduction was over 65 percent. In buildings with large room volumes, such as halls, this also has a positive effect in terms of CO₂ pricing.

It is only a small segment, but of great importance: in the current discussion about the energy transition, industrial buildings are being neglected. They only make up two percent of the building stock in Germany. However, they are responsible for around 15 percent of building-related energy consumption and the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the current Building Energy Act (GEG), however, industrial buildings are treated in the same way as daycare centers - and there are indications in a draft bill that the federal government wants to focus exclusively on heat pumps as a technology. KÜBLER GmbH in Ludwigshafen invited experts to discuss this issue. Daniel Föst, construction policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag, announced his intention to change the legislative system. -
Back in July 2022, the BMWK published its concept paper on the amendment to the Building Energy Act (GEG), thereby not only causing hopeless uncertainty, but also preventing investment in necessary energy-efficient renovations. First things first: the amendment has not yet been passed - and it is questionable whether it will actually be passed 1:1. Because if you trust Struck's law, a law does not usually leave parliament in the form in which it was introduced. -
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. -
New gas heating quickly in 2023 - often the cheapest decision that also pays off for the environmentThe 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.
