Rent infrared hall heating. 4 reasons why this is important for companies right now.
June 7, 2023
The search for suitable optimization potential in energy-related processes in industrial and commercial companies is not always easy for energy management. Especially as measures in efficiency technologies and renewable energies cost money and the budget is often lacking. Many - ecologically and economically important - measures then fall by the wayside. But does that have to be the case?
When it comes to energy consumption optimization concepts, particular attention is paid to technically outdated hall heating systems. More than half of the 480,000 or so industrial and commercial buildings in Germany use heating systems that are no longer state of the art. They burn up tons of energy every winter and unnecessarily pollute the environment with millions of tons of CO2-emissions.
Despite this, many hall operators are reluctant to invest in the energy-efficient refurbishment of outdated heating technology. Why? The main reason is probably the considerable uncertainty that has spread across the country since the BMWK announced the amendment to the Building Energy Act (GEG) in 2022: Which technologies will still be allowed? Which energy sources will prevail? Another important reason is the concern about supposedly necessary interruptions to production and a lengthy major project. Often, however, the budget is simply lacking. There are several reasons to implement the energy-efficient refurbishment immediately.
1. multi-energy infrared hall heating systems solve the GEG problem. Today and also after 2024.
Anyone who has to take into account the requirements of the GEG not only according to the current version, but also according to the planned amendment (still to be passed in parliament), needs to know this: The 65-% renewable energy rule can be met without sacrificing the high functionality and flexibility of decentralized infrared heaters in halls! Even at a very reasonable price, as IR heating systems only cost around 1/4 of the price of a heat pump, for example. This is made possible by multi-energy-capable, highly efficient infrared heating systems such as FUTURA, which can be operated with electricity, hydrogen, biogas, (biogenic) liquid gas or methane. And this in mixed or mono mode, depending on which energy is available or particularly cheap at the time. This world first was presented at ISH 23 in March and has already won three innovation awards.
2. installation under the hall ceiling maintains the flexibility of work areas and hall floors
Infrared hall heating systems are installed under the hall ceiling to save space. This means that they do not take up any space in the work areas, the hall floor remains free and machine changeovers are still possible. Installation takes place during ongoing operations and is planned by experienced experts in such a way that production operations can continue unchanged.
3. companies and the environment benefit from +/- 70 % less energy consumption
Modernization with modern infrared hall heating systems significantly reduces energy costs. Depending on the project, by up to 70 %. So every day that is spent heating with outdated appliances costs the company a lot of unnecessary money that could certainly be put to better use elsewhere.
4. heat-as-a-service: Rent infrared heating and save money
And the best for last: modern infrared hall heating systems - and the new multi-energy systems too, by the way - do not require a budget for an investment. This is because they can be easily rented according to a smart and very lucrative service concept (KÜBLER HeizWerk). Heat-as-a-service, so to speak. This concept includes all services, from planning to heating operation, to reliably supply your hall operation with heat. With no burden on liquidity and, incidentally, no burden on earnings, because you save not only on investment costs but also on depreciation. And perhaps the most interesting thing: due to the high energy savings (see above), the costs for rent and energy are generally still significantly lower than those of the old system!
Renting has many advantages. Why not benefit right away?
There is a lot to be said for renting an infrared heater - and actually nothing against it. Because renting has many advantages - for your company and for climate targets. You reduce heating costs and emissions immediately from the first hour of operation. You have no outlay for investment, depreciation and operation. And you have the freedom to take the technical path to the energy transition step by step by opting for highly efficient gas-powered infrared hall heating systems - always in compliance with the GEG. Or you can opt for decarbonization right away and use the innovative possibilities of the new multi-energy infrared heating systems. Incidentally - and this is also a new feature - they can also provide the hall lighting in a single device. The decision is entirely up to you. We will be happy to advise you without obligation!

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection has been honoring the commitment of industry and research to climate and environmental protection for many years with the IKU - the German Innovation Award for Climate and the Environment. The 21 nominees include many big names as well as a medium-sized company: KÜBLER GmbH from Ludwigshafen. It specializes in the development of energy-saving hall heating systems and entered the competition with HeizWerk, a smart solution package for industry. Behind this is nothing less than a clever concept for energy-efficient refurbishment in production, storage and other hall buildings without the need for capital expenditure. -
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. -
If you are reading this article, you are probably looking for an efficient way to heat your industrial or commercial building. During your research, you have already come across one or other technology such as dark radiant heaters or hot air. Now you want to know why dark radiant heaters in particular are repeatedly highlighted as especially efficient. We'll tell you! -
Only around half of German companies are aware of their waste heat potential - this is what 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. Clearly, this 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 are unnecessarily evaporated into the atmosphere every year. In view of rising energy costs and climate protection targets, companies simply can no longer afford to do this.
