Hydraulic balancing
Heating systems, regardless of their scale, are designed and planned at an early stage, ideally according to the state of the art, but rather rarely adapted to the actual first use or possible conversion possibilities. Hydraulic balancing is performed as standard when the system is installed. Over time, the supply and return temperatures drift further […]
Electricity tax

Euronorm 16247 describes the legal requirements for the implementation of the energy […]
Solar thermal
The fields of application of solar thermal energy are domestic hot water heating, heating support as well as swimming pool water and air heating. In our latitudes, practically only collectors are used that do not concentrate solar radiation. Simple absorbers made of plastic are usually used for swimming pools, absorbers made of stainless steel for […]
Light control
Under the term lighting control we subsume time-dependent lighting control as well as auto dimmers and presence detectors. Time-dependent lighting control dates back to the time when many lamps were not dimmable and therefore entire zones were switched off or on, e.g. only every third lamp was still lit at night. Today, the lighting control […]
