To achieve climate goals, the political world is putting more responsibility on industry to act. In the building sector too, there is still a great deal that can be done to reduce greenhouse gases. With this in mind, planners in industrial construction are already being challenged to develop energy-efficient heating concepts that will help industry to reach carbon neutrality.

According to the experts, the first step on the path to carbon reduction is to reduce industrial energy consumption as much as possible. The second step is the widespread transition to renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics, heat pumps or biomass. However, in many industries and large buildings, there is no alternative to gas for generating the necessary process heat. But there is some good news: the latest generation of condensing boilers, such as the one that Hoval has recently launched, is greener than ever before and gas can in fact make a valuable contribution towards future-proof operation.

For the latest generation of high output boilers, Hoval has once again honed each and every component and maximised efficiency, control response and energy savings. As a result, owners benefit from a reliable high-tech system and low operating costs. What’s more – and just as importantly in this day and age – the UltraGas 2 is renewable ready, meaning that no further investment costs will be required to achieve a carbon-neutral future despite using a gas heating system.

To satisfy the requirements of large operations, hybrid – i.e. the combination of gas condensing technology with heat pumps, pellet systems or solar plants – is often the solution put forward. Planned around individual needs and professionally installed, the overall system is more cost effective and demand led than any individual module. A high proportion of renewable energy sources are easier to implement – without any compromise in performance, operational reliability or comfort. The TopTronic E system controller ensures that each and every unit works together perfectly, while HovalConnect enables the building technology team to control the system online. What’s more, the HovalSupervisor control software helps to monitor various systems as well as to optimise how they run.
