Innovative hall heating project is dena's latest example of good practice
January 31, 2025
With the Good Practice Label, the German Energy Agency (dena) recognizes exemplary measures for successful energy saving. The good practice examples are intended to inspire other companies and motivate them to follow suit. The most recent example is the heating project in the new building of the metal processing specialist Die Kanter & Schlosser in Trier. The innovative FUTURA multi-energy system from KÜBLER was used.
The company had set the highest energy efficiency standards for its new building. Initially, the new production building was to be heated by a combination of heat pump and underfloor heating, but this proved to be less functional in hall buildings. The decision was made to use the completely new energy-flexible infrared system FUTURA from KÜBLER - as a pilot project. "We are always breaking new ground ourselves with many of our projects. We are happy to help shape the process at KÜBLER," says Christoph Rotsch, Managing Director. "When we got to know the FUTURA, underfloor heating was off the table."
Two heating periods later, Kanter & Schlosser is still very satisfied. "A big advantage for us is that we can now heat with different energy sources," explains the company. With the FUTURA system, Trier is no longer exclusively reliant on gas. In the first heating period, the photovoltaic system took over the entire heating costs from around 11 a.m. onwards. Previously, the heating in the old building would have blown circulating air into the hall. Every time the door was opened, it immediately became very cold and it felt like it took an eternity for the temperature to return to normal. "Now we definitely have a much more pleasant heat quality in the hall - precise, without swirling up dust. This is very well received by the employees."
Another important advantage is the ability to heat the individual areas of the hall individually or switch them off when work is no longer taking place there. "We have set up four heating circuits that we can control via the FUTURA system. That saves a lot of energy. Especially when, for example, the metalworking shop closes early on Fridays and we can switch off the heating in this area," says Christoph Rotsch. Wasting energy is not an option for the future-oriented company. For this reason, Die Kanter & Schlosser is also happy to no longer be reliant on technologies such as underfloor heating, which cannot be controlled according to demand and have to run at night or at weekends.

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. -
As of today, it's clear: the world first from KÜBLER has won its third award! Following the SUCCESS 2022 Technology Award and the Rhineland-Palatinate 2023 Innovation Award, the innovative FUTURA multi-energy IR heating system for the climate-friendly and economical heating of hall buildings has now been recognized in the "Winner" category of the German Innovation Award 2023.
