KÜBLER and Eickhoff - nominated for dena's Energy Efficiency Award!
October 27, 2023
"Achieving more together! Energy services as enablers of the energy transition" - this is the motto under which the heating refurbishment of Eickhoff Maschinenbau GmbH with highly efficient infrared hall heaters from KÜBLER was convincing: the jury of the Energy Efficiency Award nominated the joint large-scale project on the Eickhoff company premises in Bochum for the coveted award of the German Energy Agency dena.
The large-scale project is characterized by several advantages:
- Energy consumption has been reduced by 55 %
- 1,359 tons of CO₂ are saved annually
- Energy costs fell by 60 %
- and there were no investment costs for renting a smart heating system from KÜBLER HeizWerk.
The heating appliances in the MAXIMA range can also be retrofitted for electric operation (MAXIMA E-Hybrid).
The new technology consists of high-efficiency IR hall heating systems from KÜBLER's MAXIMA line and condensing technology for using waste heat to heat domestic hot water, in particular from compressors (KÜBLER H.Y.B.R.I.D.). In addition, there was a connection to the district heating system (office building) and a condensing gas boiler for peak load and reserve. Additional measures included the CELESTRA digital heating control system, the EMMA energy management system and the replacement of electrical, gas and water pipes. Other parts of the plant that were previously heated with district heating (high-bay warehouse) and one hall were also equipped with IR technology.
The infrared heating was implemented as a rental solution (HeizWerk). The result after the first complete heating period: With energy savings of 55 %, energy costs were reduced by around 60 %.
And what's next for the Energy Efficiency Award? The award will be presented at the dena Energy Transition Conference on November 13.

Heating halls efficiently, economically and functionally is a challenge. Because in these huge buildings with ceiling heights that often reach 20 meters, a lot of energy can quickly be consumed - energy that is expensive and, depending on the heating technology used, also causes high emissions. The building stock is often still equipped with inefficient and [...]
