Energy for Schleswig-Holstein 

Efficient design of heat generators, heat grids with the utilisation of various energy sources.

THE CHALLENGE

These days, many things need to be considered when supplying a property with heat. They range from the space required for the generation or interconnecting systems, to the operating safety and fitness for the future to sustainability and obviously the supply costs. 

THE GOAL

A key aspect is the upgrade and maintenance of heat generation plants with the goal of the energy-efficient generation and distribution of thermal energy against the backdrop of climate protection and security of supply. In so doing, ESH examines the technical feasibility of an efficient design of heat generators, heat grids and utilisation of energy sources, depending on the regional circumstances.

OUR SOLUTION

The use of combined heat and power generation by means of decentralised CHP units plays an important role in this context. The application of this technology is rewarded with a favourable primary energy factor. This means: The construction costs for buildings heated by means of this method decrease because fewer structural measures are required to erect an appropriately energy-efficient building. For instance, fewer insulating materials are needed or other improvement measures can be omitted, such as the use of solar power.
