Develop commercial and logistics properties and heat them economically
February 13, 2025
Even without the current threatening developments, the business of project developers is highly complex and fraught with risk. In addition to the standard challenges such as long processing times for building applications, rare animal species or contamination, there are now rising interest rates, exploding construction costs and the stuttering economy. And as if that weren't all, the Building Energy Act (GEG) has been adding to this since January 1, 2024 and more or less restricts the use of heating systems in new buildings for logistics, production and other halls to one of the least functionally sensible options. The good news is that there are heating solutions specially tailored to hall buildings that can not only meet all the objectives of the GEG, but are also characterized by their superior economic operation: the new Fair.AIdH* technologies from KÜBLER.
Fair.AIdH - ideal heating systems for special buildings
Halls have different heating requirements to office or other multi-storey buildings. As a rule, "normal" hot water heating systems inevitably fail due to the enormous room heights and dimensions: they consume an unreasonable amount of energy, offer little flexibility and thermal comfort, can hardly be controlled variably, heat hall ceilings instead of work areas, are often simply uneconomical and not very usable.
The ideal heating principle for heating large rooms is infrared technology, which - similar to the heat radiation of the sun - transfers its heat to the hall floor without loss. This alone saves huge amounts of energy because the entire room volume does not have to be heated. Unlike heat pumps, IR hall heating systems also offer other advantages:
- Technical fusion of heat generator and heat exchanger in a decentralized system
- Simple, space-saving installation under the hall ceiling
- Flexible (re)use of the hall floor
- No environmental impact, e.g. from refrigerants
- No loss of roof area for possible PV systems
- No noise emissions
- Energy-flexible operation with electricity, H₂, (biogenic) gas, or liquid gas in mono or mixed mode
- Integrated LED hall lighting optional
- Easy to retrofit in existing buildings
Fair.AIdH in Neubauhallen – energy-flexible, CO₂-free, and impressively cost-effective
The intelligent (AI-controlled) infrared heating systems of the latest KÜBLER generation are paving the way to economic success in the CO₂-free era. This is because the new energy-flexible systems allow you to use whichever energy source is currently available at the lowest cost: PV electricity, low-cost grid electricity, hydrogen, or other (biogenic) gases.
This lowers costs - in electricity-only mode well below the price per square meter of air-to-air heat pumps. At the same time, the new energy flexibility is an important step towards energy autonomy, peak load balancing and grid relief. A forward-looking solution in accordance with the new building requirements of the GEG.
Fair.AIdH in the refurbishment of existing buildings - practicable, economical and highly efficient
Up to 70 percent energy savings and more – the innovative Fair.AIdH*Technologies are among the most efficient heating solutions. They therefore meet the efficiency requirements for the GEG-compliant Heating mode. This means that the superior advantages of infrared technology for heating halls—its high efficiency, the option of flexible zone heating, fast heating times, and a pleasant, natural indoor climate—can continue to be used without restriction in the future. As soon as renewable energies are available to companies in sufficient quantities and at affordable prices, they can be used. The innovative technologies will then operate 100 percent CO₂-free – and still be highly efficient. The ideal solution for the energy-efficient renovation of existing industrial buildings.
ESG rating up - ETS costs down
The new generation of IR hall heaters are „[...] milestones on the path to achieving climate targets.“ No wonder, since building renovations regularly achieve energy savings of 50, 60, 70 percent and more thanks to (bio)gas-powered KÜBLER technologies. This not only saves a huge amount in consumption costs, but also significantly reduces CO₂ emissions for building heating. This is also highly relevant from an economic perspective, given the estimates of current studies that predict a CO₂ price increase by a factor of 5 by 2027. When PV electricity or hydrogen is used, the highly efficient KÜBLER technologies are 100% CO₂-free. A real win-win situation: for the climate, people, and businesses.

Germany has a huge number of buildings whose heating systems waste energy every day and produce far too much CO₂. With regard to the use of renewable energies and modern technologies, it is by no means just an old stock that urgently needs to be refurbished.

Mr. Kübler, your company produces heating systems for halls. These only make up a small proportion of all buildings in Germany. Why is it nevertheless important to save as much energy as possible in this area? That's right, halls only make up around 1.5 percent of all buildings in Germany, so most people don't notice them.

Christmas is once again approaching surprisingly quickly - and, unfortunately, one or two challenges are on the horizon. From 3G and 2G plus to the next increases in energy prices. Congratulations if you have already converted your hall heating to an economical system from KÜBLER. This is a really good decision in many respects. -
What is a dark radiator (really)? In everyday life, the term "dark radiator" is often used interchangeably with infrared radiant heaters. It is also often used to refer to electric infrared heaters. People even talk about electric dark radiators. From a technical point of view, however, this is not really correct. Dark radiators in the true sense of the word are gas-powered infrared heating systems that bring heat into halls in a particularly efficient way. To do this, […]
