How to regulate your hall heating during the Christmas break - and how to cleverly counter rising energy prices
December 21, 2023
Christmas is once again approaching surprisingly quickly - and, unfortunately, one or two challenges are on the horizon. From the next increase in energy prices to the implementation of the GEG amendment. Congratulations if you have already converted your hall heating to an economical system from KÜBLER. This is a really good decision in many respects.
As far as gas and oil prices are concerned, they have eased in recent months. And the price of electricity has also eased compared to the previous year. However, the discontinuation of the federal subsidy and the increase in the CO₂ tax from €30 to €45/t are expected to result in some sharp price increases in 2024.
This makes saving energy all the more important. Here are three important expert tips for you:
- Take a close look at the operating times of the hall heating systems and check whether the shift times are still synchronized with the heating times. Every hour of heating that you can save during normal operation is really worthwhile given the high prices.
- Clarify vacation operation during the festive period in good time and use the "Holiday operation" setting on your control unit. You can regulate the heating system down to 8 °C during the Christmas break, provided your general conditions allow this. This temperature is sufficient to ensure that the building does not cool down completely and that the operating temperature can be reached again quickly if required. You can already make the settings for Christmas and the other holidays now.
- Switch back to normal operation at the weekend before starting work. The system will run at the setback temperature according to your settings and resume normal operation on Monday.
Depending on the size of your system, reducing the temperature will save you several thousand euros. A sum that you can certainly budget for in the coming financial year. Perhaps even to celebrate with your employees and raise a glass to the New Year?

Ambitious climate protection targets and new building energy regulations pose challenges for companies. Especially when modernizing heating systems in hall buildings, you should rely on future technologies in order to meet the strict requirements. -
The new CO₂ tax came into force in 2021. It is intended to help Germany achieve its climate protection targets. Read on to find out what this means for your company in terms of costs and what you should do now! -
Only around half of German companies are aware of their waste heat potential - as dena writes in its publication on waste heat utilization as part of the Energy Efficiency Initiative. This means that an estimated 226 TWh of usable heat goes unused every year. That is 36 % of the energy used by the entire manufacturing industry. This clearly costs companies an enormous amount of money, but at the same time the unused waste heat has a negative impact on the environment. Around 60 million tons of the greenhouse gas CO₂ evaporate unnecessarily into the atmosphere every year. In view of rising energy costs and climate protection targets, companies simply can no longer afford to do this.
