Distinguished guests attend the official opening of one of the first carbon-free hall heating systems in Austria
February 25, 2025
In Langschlag, Lower Austria, the multi-award-winning FUTURA multi-energy infrared system from KÜBLER with integrated LED lights has recently been heating and illuminating the new building of the traditional master craftsman's business Christoph Buxbaum Dach. As an e-variant in pure (PV) electricity operation, the innovative FUTURA E system is already 100 % carbon-free and at the same time open for operation with gaseous energy sources such as biogas or hydrogen.
We had the honor of welcoming the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in Austria, His Excellency Vito Cecere, to the inauguration ceremony of the first RES project in Austria - together with other high-ranking representatives from politics, business and associations. First and foremost, the Managing Director of the German Chamber of Commerce in Austria (DHK) Thomas Gindele, the senior expert for renewable energies at the German Energy Agency (dena) Marta Cavalli, the representative of the District Governor Dr. Markus Peham, Magister Claudia Bauer, as well as the Managing Director of the Lower Austrian Roofers', Glaziers' and Tinsmiths' Guild Hannes Atzinger and his colleague Helmuth Degeorgi.
The entertaining program included the welcome by the host Christoph Buxbaum, the opening speech by the ambassador Vito Cecere, the greeting by the mayor of Langschlag Andreas Maringer for the municipalities of Hochland and the presentation of the Renewable Energy Solutions program by Marta Cavalli, in short RES program of the Export Initiative Energy of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection, in the context of which the carbon-free heating project at Christoph Buxbaum GmbH was presented to the public. Mario Stieglmair (KÜBLER GmbH) presented the innovative heating system with integrated LED lighting and then, moderated by Tom Meiler (BR3), Thomas Gindele (DKH), Roswitha Haghofer (KLAR Manager Waldviertler Hochland), Roland Lifka (Managing Director of Synto GmbH Energieberatung und Projektmanagement) and the founder and Managing Partner of KÜBLER GmbH, Thomas Kübler, met for a panel discussion to shed light on the question: "How can decarbonization succeed in commercial and industrial companies?"
Accompanied by the BLÄSERGRUPPE of the Langschlag music band under the direction of Martin Baumgartner and with a blessing from the parish priest, Magister Andreas Bühringer, the ceremony came to a worthy conclusion, which continued long into the afternoon with Palatinate wine and Saumagen as well as specialties from the Lower Austrian Waldviertel.

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.
Gas is decentralized, flexible, can be stored efficiently and is inexpensive. The energy source is a guarantee for the success of the energy transition. Ten associations from the gas industry have joined forces and formulated an appeal for the climate protection plan, explaining why gas as an energy source can already achieve significant CO2 savings cost-effectively today.
