HEATING WITH PERSPECTIVE
Full transparency in the heating process
"If you want to control your energy consumption to the ideal level, you need information. And the right tools," says Thomas Kübler, Managing Partner and founder of KÜBLER GmbH. The company specializes in the development of highly efficient hall heating solutions and is considered the technology leader in this segment. With the E.M.M.A. software tool, KÜBLER has now developed this information instrument.
E.M.M.A. stands for Energy Monitoring & Management Application. The heat management system is a module of the CELESTRA digital control cockpit and visualizes, analyses, documents and archives all key parameters such as temperature curves, heating output and consumption data. For each individual heater and, if desired, to the exact day or minute. The benefits for users of hall heating systems are considerable. For the first time, the heating process in energy management can be monitored reliably and with high precision. This is a valuable source of information for identifying and localizing deviations from target values and quickly taking countermeasures in the event of energy losses. The fact that the possibilities of the powerful heat management system go far beyond the actual heating process is demonstrated, for example, by its use at a production company in Laubach. By evaluating the data, energy guzzlers such as doors that have been open for too long or leaks in the roof could be detected.
Powerful basis for audits such as DIN EN 50001 and Co.
In practice, however, E.M.M.A. is much more than a powerful tool for increasing the efficiency of heating systems. For many companies, certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001, 14001 or a registered environmental management system in accordance with the EMAS regulation plays an important role alongside economic aspects. In Germany, for example, DIN EN 500001 is a prerequisite for particularly energy-intensive companies to be partially exempt from the EEG levy. By recording energy flows and evaluating consumption data, E.M.M.A. offers systematic energy management for the industrial heating process as a basis for the above-mentioned audits. A special feature of E.M.M.A. is the report function. Summarized in one document, the system provides a complete overview of all relevant data, divided into the various heating zones. A perfect basis for comparing energy flows within the company. And a transparent basis for implementing both technical measures and strategic and organizational management approaches with the aim of continuously and sustainably improving energy use.
Meeting the 2030 climate targets today
Energy efficiency is the central topic that KÜBLER, the hall heating specialist, is committed to. The company has been researching and developing this for 30 years. Successfully, as evidenced not only by the regular awards, including the German Sustainability Award. Today, KÜBLER systems achieve energy savings of 30 to 70 percent compared to conventional solutions. The company is regarded as an innovation driver in the industry and has been setting benchmarks for decades, for example with system solutions such as H.Y.B.R.I.D. or the digital hall heating system WÄRME 4.0. "Our solutions are a good 10 years ahead of today's efficiency requirements - they therefore make an important contribution to a climate-neutral future," says Thomas Kübler. But future requirements are becoming increasingly ambitious. The fact that this path is far from over is demonstrated by the unabated activities of the company's own R&D department. We can therefore look forward to further economically and ecologically relevant innovations from KÜBLER.

The topics are as topical as they were in May, when Minister of Economic Affairs Daniela Schmitt presented the prestigious Rhineland-Palatinate Innovation Award to KÜBLER at the award ceremony. For FUTURA, the multi-energy-capable hall heating system with integrated lighting function. The company visit to the hidden champion and innovation leader for climate-friendly hall heating technology was therefore prepared well in advance. On Thursday, the Minister of Economic Affairs met with the Managing Director of the Innovation Agency Sabine Mesletzky and Managing Director Thomas Kübler at the company's site in Ludwigshafen.

Ludwigshafen, 19.06.2020 | The Building Energy Act, or GEG for short, has long been eagerly awaited. The uniform, coordinated set of regulations for the energy requirements for new buildings, existing buildings and the use of renewable energies to supply heating and cooling to buildings is intended to bring together various laws on building energy efficiency and heat use. And thus significantly simplify the previously highly complex and difficult to understand landscape of energy-saving legislation for building owners and planners. Drafts of the law have been available since 2017. After endless postponements over legislative periods, the GEG was passed yesterday in the Bundestag.

Energy savings of up to 70 % - with these values, KÜBLER heating systems are perhaps one of the most effective levers for reducing primary energy consumption, CO2 emissions and costs in the hall sector. Depending on the project, this can amount to annual savings of €300,000 and more. A sum that can be used for design. Because it offers financial freedom. For architectural innovations. For further beneficial measures on the building structure. The innovation leader presented its latest developments at ISH 2019 in Frankfurt.

How to save 3.7 million kWh - almost 70 percent! - energy can be saved? This is demonstrated by the joint project of hall heating specialist KÜBLER and Höganäs Germany GmbH (formerly H.C. Starck) at the Laufenburg site near the Swiss border. For dena, this is a flagship project that the German Energy Agency is publishing on its new website as an example of good practice.
