How to heat offices with machine waste heat almost free of charge

Almost all machines produce waste heat. Compressed air systems or curing ovens are at the forefront here, as they generate the most heat. However, this usually dissipates unregulated in the building, which is not only annoying, but also a wasted option for reducing your heating costs. In this article, you can find out all about how you can cleverly use the waste heat from your production machines to heat various rooms, such as offices, and thus reduce your heating costs and also do something good for the environment.

Heat offices with the waste heat from your machines

All manufacturing and production processes rely on machines that usually generate a lot of waste heat, which you can use with the help of modern technologies to heat your offices and other premises. However, machines such as curing ovens are not the only ones that give off valuable heat. Other technologies or building heating systems also have significant potential for warm exhaust air that you should use to heat offices, for example.

Heat offices cleverly - stop waste heat going to waste

In most cases, the valuable waste heat from your machines and building heating systems is wasted in the building without being regulated, 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, for example to heat the canteen or the office. But does this now mean that every single machine or Heating must be elaborately equipped with its own residual heat utilization?

Equip machines to heat offices with waste heat

For many commercial enterprises and companies, this question is more economically relevant than initially assumed. Technologies such as integrated heat exchangers can be an interesting approach here. They are designed to combine different heat flows and make maximum use of them in the company, thus heating rooms such as offices. The investment costs are so low that they do not really outweigh the savings. Depending on the system, offices or entire office areas can be heated in this way. One example is a medium-sized production company in North Rhine-Westphalia, where energy consumption has been reduced so significantly that the management can look forward to around 46,000 euros more cash in the till every year.

Conclusion: Waste heat is the smartest way to heat your offices

The waste heat from your production machines is valuable - don't just let it go to waste. An ideal way to use waste heat intelligently is to use it to heat your offices, for example. But of course you can also reuse the waste heat from your machines in other ways. Find out exactly how here.

  • The decision on the Heating Act (Building Energy Act - GEG) has been made, but the questions remain. But there is no need to worry: the legislator has provided for generous transition periods, technological openness and pragmatic, affordable regulations for the gradual move towards climate-neutral heating by 2045.

  • 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.
