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?

It is only a small segment, but of great importance: in the current discussion about the energy transition, industrial buildings are being neglected. They only make up two percent of the building stock in Germany. However, they are responsible for around 15 percent of building-related energy consumption and the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the current Building Energy Act (GEG), however, industrial buildings are treated in the same way as daycare centers - and there are indications in a draft bill that the federal government wants to focus exclusively on heat pumps as a technology. KÜBLER GmbH in Ludwigshafen invited experts to discuss this issue. Daniel Föst, construction policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag, announced his intention to change the legislative system. -
ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance and refers to the three key areas of sustainable corporate management: environment, social affairs and corporate governance. But what does this have to do with you and the way you heat your production halls and warehouses? -

Because anyone who looks ahead knows that summertime is maintenance time. So if you want to start the winter safely with your production halls or warehouses, it's good to be prepared. After all, the next heating period is often around the corner sooner than you think, which raises the question: is your hall heating system fit for the next season? -
How will Germany heat from 2024 according to Federal Minister Habeck? First things first: the final answer is not yet available. This is because the draft for a new Building Energy Act (GEG) has only just made it through the cabinet. The next step will be to ask the Bundestag and Bundesrat. Nevertheless, the announced "end" for gas and oil heating systems has been making waves for months. And caused so much uncertainty that last winter, instead of investing in the energy-efficient refurbishment of their hall heating systems, industry often preferred to reactivate old oil and coal heating systems...
