Energy-efficient hall heating renovation is a dena lighthouse project
October 27, 2023
How to save 3.7 million kWh - almost 70 percent! - energy can be saved? This is demonstrated by the joint project of hall heating specialist KÜBLER and Höganäs Germany GmbH (formerly H.C. Starck) at the Laufenburg site near the Swiss border.
For dena, this is a flagship project, which the German Energy Agency has published on its new website as an example of good practice and which you can find under this link: Laufenburg Kübler - Energy Efficiency Award
The major energy refurbishment at Höganäs is extraordinary - in more ways than one. The scope, complexity and ultimately the results alone are impressive. The aim of the energy refurbishment measure was the technical conversion of the entire plant to a modern, decentralized, IR heat supply. A total of seven building areas covering a total area of almost 12,000 square meters were affected.
The entire site is now heated with energy-saving KÜBLER technology. In areas of the complex building stock with special requirements, such as low floor heights and interior rooms, additional heating and ventilation technologies were implemented.
The new heating system integrates all heat flows in the halls, including the existing heat recovery from the compressor system.
The entire system is controlled, monitored and analyzed via the KÜBLER CELESTRA control system and the E.M.M.A. heat management module. Gas meters and electricity consumption are recorded and evaluated there, with special interfaces programmed by KÜBLER.
KÜBLER implemented the heating project including financing through the HeizWerk rental concept, which meant that no investment costs were incurred. The combined rental and consumption costs are lower than the previous energy costs, which makes the project economical. The innovative rental model enables energy-efficient heating even on a tight budget. The measures have saved 3.7 million kWh of energy, or around 70 %, which represents a significant contribution to the energy transition.
We look forward to your publication!

The combined heat and power plant at Köpenicker Strasse 70 is a piece of Berlin's industrial history. A cathedral of concrete and steel with gigantic dimensions and a height of almost 30 meters. Discovered by techno pope Dimitri Hegemann as an event location, the question arose: "How do you get this box hot?" The solution was found in 2010. The imposing building complex was equipped with [...] -
With the FUTURA, KÜBLER from Ludwigshafen has developed a world first for heating industrial halls. It is an infrared heating system that can process green and fossil fuels highly efficiently - thus building a bridge to the carbon-free era.

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. -
"The best kilowatt hour is the one saved," says Thomas Kübler. The managing partner of KÜBLER GmbH Energiesparende Hallenheizungen is in good company. DENEFF also states* that too little is being invested, even though energy efficiency pays off, and quotes Lower Saxony's Energy Minister Olaf Lies with his plea for an energy policy based on the principle of "Efficiency First". Experts agree that if the 2030 climate targets are to be even remotely achieved, effective measures are needed quickly. The first priority is to reduce energy consumption. The solution to this can be found in the industrial sector with specially developed hall heating systems from KÜBLER. They combine enormous savings potential with a short ROI.
