The Haniel Campus in Duisburg is a sustainable project that we are really proud of!

Our Eiffage Infra-Hochbau is building on the campus site with its HVAC team.  

‘Clean energy from clean production’ is the motto and we are supporting the Haniel Campus with the “Enkelfähig” project. What does that actually mean⁉ Enkelfähig means that you act in such an economically sustainable way that you can provide your children and grandchildren with a future worth living. In this case, the aim is to create an environment that is as CO2-neutral as possible. Among other things, our team produces its own independent power supply for the heat pumps. This means that at the end of the year, CO2-neutral provision of the required heating and cooling is achieved.

Our HVAC team faced some interesting challenges with this project. One of these was to install large components in an existing heating centre located on the roof. Two large heat pumps including two recoolers were installed in the roof centre and on the roof. A buffer volume of 12,000 litres was provided for the heating system and 3,000 litres for the cooling system. This means that this volume is provided as storage, which can be called up for heating or air conditioning. The storage tanks had to be inserted into the heating centre through narrow openings. Quite tricky, but our team was able to score points with its many years of know-how and extensive expertise and handle everything without a hitch.

Our partner and energy specialist LAVA ENERGY is supporting the project: the Stuttgart-based company is responsible for the energy modernisation as well as the supply and operation of the systems with renewable energies. We are very proud and delighted to be part of such a sustainable, future-orientated project.
 

A sustainable project for our HVAC team that we’re really proud of! “Clean energy from clean production” is the motto, and we’re supporting the Haniel Campus with the “Grandchild-Friendly” project.

But what does that actually mean⁉ In this context, “Enkelfähig” means acting in such an economically sustainable way that we can ensure a future worth living for our children and grandchildren. In this case, the aim is to create an environment that is ascarbon-neutral as possible. Among other things, our team is creating a dedicated, independent power supply for the heat pumps. This means that, by the end of the year, the necessary heating and cooling will be provided in aCO₂-neutral manner.

Our HVAC team faced some interesting challenges on this project. One of these was installing large components in an existing heating plant located on the roof. Two large heat pumps, including two recoolers, were installed in the roof-top plant and on the roof itself. A buffer volume of 12,000 litres was provided for the heating system and 3,000 litres for the cooling system. This means that this volume serves as storage, which can be drawn upon for heating or air conditioning. The storage tanks had to be installed in the heating plant through narrow access openings. It was quite a tricky task, but our team drew on their many years of know-how and extensive expertise to carry out the work without any problems.

Our partner and energy specialist, LAVA ENERGY, is supporting the project: the Stuttgart-based company is responsible for the energy-efficiency upgrade, as well as the supply and operation of the systems using renewable energy. We are very proud and delighted to be part of such a sustainable, forward-looking project.
