KÜBLER and Eickhoff - nominated for dena's Energy Efficiency Award!
October 27, 2023
"Achieving more together! Energy services as enablers of the energy transition" - this is the motto under which the heating refurbishment of Eickhoff Maschinenbau GmbH with highly efficient infrared hall heaters from KÜBLER was convincing: the jury of the Energy Efficiency Award nominated the joint large-scale project on the Eickhoff company premises in Bochum for the coveted award of the German Energy Agency dena.
The large-scale project is characterized by several advantages:
- Energy consumption has been reduced by 55 %
- 1,359 tons of CO₂ are saved annually
- Energy costs fell by 60 %
- and there were no investment costs for renting a smart heating system from KÜBLER HeizWerk.
The heating appliances in the MAXIMA range can also be retrofitted for electric operation (MAXIMA E-Hybrid).
The new technology consists of high-efficiency IR hall heating systems from KÜBLER's MAXIMA line and condensing technology for using waste heat to heat domestic hot water, in particular from compressors (KÜBLER H.Y.B.R.I.D.). In addition, there was a connection to the district heating system (office building) and a condensing gas boiler for peak load and reserve. Additional measures included the CELESTRA digital heating control system, the EMMA energy management system and the replacement of electrical, gas and water pipes. Other parts of the plant that were previously heated with district heating (high-bay warehouse) and one hall were also equipped with IR technology.
The infrared heating was implemented as a rental solution (HeizWerk). The result after the first complete heating period: With energy savings of 55 %, energy costs were reduced by around 60 %.
And what's next for the Energy Efficiency Award? The award will be presented at the dena Energy Transition Conference on November 13.

The old hall heating system consumes too much energy, emits too much CO2 and is becoming increasingly unreliable. Good reasons to finally tackle heating modernization and replace the old system with a modern, energy-efficient one. But the expense seems high and is often shied away from. Yet today there are alternative solutions that can also be very interesting economically. -
55 percent less CO2 emissions by 2030, 80 to 95 percent by 2050 - these are the German government's targets for the building sector. In addition to residential and office buildings, there is also a great need for industrial buildings (production halls, etc.). In this area, the heating systems from the Ludwigshafen-based infrared specialist KÜBLER already meet the requirements of the next decade. A joint research project between KÜBLER and the Technical University of Kaiserslautern entitled InfraEff now promises the decisive innovative step on the 2050 stage. Supported and funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research - BMBF. The cooperation partners met in Ludwigshafen on March 13 to kick off the project. -
For more than 30 years, KÜBLER has been one of the pioneers of energy-saving hall heating systems. With energy savings of up to 70 % and many other advantages, KÜBLER infrared heaters are considered the golden standard in hall buildings with high ceilings. The company regularly receives awards for its developments. On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the well-known [...] -
"I came to understand the technology," says Carina Konrad as Thomas Kübler begins his presentation and apologizes for the perhaps somewhat dry subject matter. There was a good reason why the deputy state chairwoman of the FDP in Rhineland-Palatinate and deputy chairwoman of the FDP parliamentary group made the trip to Ludwigshafen: "KÜBLER shows how [...]
