KÜBLER plants 1,000 trees for climate protection
The idea was born within the team: doing good together at the Christmas party. As sustainability is a top priority at KÜBLER anyway, the goal was quickly clear: planting trees for climate protection. A raffle was organized for this purpose, into which every employee had paid, twice over. Firstly, many of the raffle winnings were donated. Secondly, raffle tickets were purchased. The campaign was so well received that all the raffle tickets were sold within a very short time.
"I really enjoyed the raffle. Donations are always a great thing, but such a successful campaign makes it even easier to get active," says Sina Koppenhöfer, media clerk trainee at KÜBLER GmbH.
Another kicker was that the company had promised to double the amount and thus the number of trees. 1,000 trees are now being planted on behalf of KÜBLER and its employees. The organization Plant for the Planet, which benefited from the donation, organizes tree planting projects all over the world.
"It is important to us to set a good example in the area of climate protection," says Thomas Kübler, founder and Managing Director of KÜBLER GmbH. The topic has been on the agenda for the Ludwigshafen-based hall heating specialist not just since Greta Thunberg. In fact, KÜBLER's infrared systems have been making a major contribution to environmental protection for over 30 years. The energy-efficient dark radiators save up to 70 % CO₂ and energy. The company regularly receives awards for this - including the German Sustainability Award. "We want to prove that climate protection doesn't have to be hard and arduous, it can actually be fun."
KÜBLER GmbH is an internationally active group of companies and is regarded as a pioneer and innovation leader in modern infrared heating technology. The core business is the development and production of highly efficient premium technologies for energy-saving and climate-friendly hall heating. KÜBLER offers an exceptionally wide range of products for almost all types of halls and room environments.
Founded in 1989, the group of companies employs over 120 people and is one of the leading companies in the industry in Europe with locations in Ludwigshafen, Dresden, Hagen, Hamburg, Prague (Czech Republic) and Fegyvernek (Hungary) as well as numerous foreign agencies and a nationwide service network.
KÜBLER products and development services regularly receive awards. The national and international awards include the Federal Prize for Outstanding Innovative Achievements from the Federal Ministry of Economics, the Bavarian State Prize and the German Sustainability Award. KÜBLER received this highest German award for sustainable entrepreneurship for the special energy efficiency of the H.Y.B.R.I.D system in the category "Germany's most sustainable product". In 2018, KÜBLER was honored for the third time with the Innovation Award of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, awarded for the innovative WÄRME 4.0 digital hall heating system.

Ludwigshafen, August 2020 | Decentralized infrared radiant heating systems are the technology of choice in tall buildings with ceiling heights of over 4 meters. Here, they are often functionally superior to alternative heating systems. Their efficiency is so high that they have been able to exceed climate protection requirements for years, even without the integration of renewable energies. They also offer clear advantages in terms of investment costs, as studies have shown. With the entry into force of the GEG, high-efficiency technologies such as decentralized infrared heating systems are finally finding their way into legislation.

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.

The renovation project Since 1994, the halls at the main site in Neuss have been heated with a central hot air system using a gas-powered hot water boiler system, which resulted in high energy costs. In order to achieve the company's own ambitious climate targets and increase efficiency, it was decided in 2021 to convert to a modern, decentralized heating system. In collaboration with the engineering firm Enviconsult, a heat demand analysis was carried out and [...]
