3rd Energy Efficiency Day in Schwäbisch Hall

The focus of Ziehl-Abeg­g’s third Ener­gy Effi­cien­cy Day will be on retro­fitting, the refur­bish­ment of exist­ing sys­tems. In addi­tion, heat pumps and ener­gy-sav­ing leg­is­la­tion will be dis­cussed in Schwäbisch Hall (North Würt­tem­berg). Anoth­er top­ic will be state sub­si­dies for renew­able ener­gies in air con­di­tion­ing, refrig­er­a­tion and ven­ti­la­tion tech­nol­o­gy. The reg­is­tra­tion dead­line is Wednes­day, June 8. As a hybrid event, par­tic­i­pa­tion can take place on site or online via livestream. Par­tic­i­pa­tion is free of charge.

Those who own an old build­ing often don’t want to make any fun­da­men­tal changes to the air con­di­tion­ing or ven­ti­la­tion sys­tem because this would sup­pos­ed­ly involve far-reach­ing changes to the struc­ture; not to men­tion the sit­u­a­tion in a list­ed build­ing. Knock­ing slots, lay­ing pipes and much more — this is usu­al­ly not even nec­es­sary. Exist­ing sys­tems can be large­ly adopt­ed. Any­thing else would also be out of pro­por­tion to the poten­tial ener­gy savings.

A sto­ry and the use of heat pumps in exist­ing build­ings pro­vide impor­tant insights; the impor­tance of elec­tri­cal pow­er qual­i­ty for retro­fits is also high­light­ed. Before any refur­bish­ment of air con­di­tion­ing sys­tems, their ener­gy inspec­tion should be sched­uled — also a top­ic in Schwäbisch Hall.

In addi­tion, the third Ener­gy Effi­cien­cy Day will focus on fund­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for renew­able ener­gies in air con­di­tion­ing, refrig­er­a­tion and ven­ti­la­tion tech­nol­o­gy. FGK Man­ag­ing Direc­tor Gün­ther Mertz will report on the lat­est devel­op­ments in ener­gy-sav­ing leg­is­la­tion. Thomas Nowak (Euro­pean Heat Pump Asso­ci­a­tion) will present the heat pump as a core tech­nol­o­gy for a Euro­pean ener­gy turn­around in the heat­ing and cool­ing sector.

The fol­low­ing day, there will be guid­ed tours of Ziehl-Abeg­g’s pro­duc­tion plant in Kupferzell and its devel­op­ment cen­ter in Künzel­sau. The accom­pa­ny­ing pro­gram includes a guid­ed tour of the “Groß­com­burg” monastery and a cozy bar­be­cue evening in the old bar­rel fac­to­ry in the evening.
