Key points at a glance

  • Challenge: Rising energy costs, decarbonization targets, and ESG requirements are increasing the pressure to act in the industrial and logistics sectors. At the same time, long-term security of supply and production capacity must be guaranteed.
  • Solution: We develop integrated energy strategies based on actual load profiles. This involves combining energy efficiency, waste heat recovery, renewable energy, heat pumps, storage solutions, and future technology pathways into a cost-effective overall package.
  • Result: Reduced CO₂ emissions, lower energy costs, higher energy efficiency, and a robust foundation for investment, funding, and sustainability strategies.
  • io benefit: Our energy strategies are not developed in isolation, but in collaboration with factory design, logistics, and MEP. This ensures that energy flows are identified early on, are technically feasible, and are optimally integrated into buildings, infrastructure, and production processes.

What does an industrial energy strategy encompass?

An industrial energy strategy examines energy flows in the context of production, logistics, and buildings. This results in cost-effective and future-proof strategies for energy efficiency, security of supply, and decarbonization.

Our building blocks for an energy strategy

Energy demand analysis

Analysis of heating, cooling, electricity, and compressed air consumption to provide transparency around energy flows, peak loads, and optimization potential.

Waste heat recovery

Identification and utilization of waste heat potential to reduce energy demand and the use of fossil fuels.

Electrification

Replacement of fossil fuels with electric supply systems such as heat pumps and power-to-heat solutions for a future-proof and climate-friendly energy supply.

PV & storage

Integration of photovoltaic systems and storage solutions to increase self-consumption, lower energy costs, and reduce peak loads.

Hydrogen readiness

Assessment and preparation of infrastructure and energy supply for the future use of hydrogen and other climate-neutral energy sources.

Energy management

Continuous monitoring of energy consumption and system performance to identify savings potential, peak loads, and optimization measures.

Funding

We link technical measures with appropriate funding programs and create a solid foundation for investment decisions.

ESG & EU taxonomy

We integrate sustainability goals, regulatory requirements, and energy efficiency measures into a holistic energy strategy.

Decarbonization makes a difference

From goal to implementation

Strategies are translated into specific measures with measurable savings and clear implementation paths.

The future from the start

Sustainably 
planned

We integrate technological developments, ESG requirements, and regulatory guidelines right from the initial concept phase.

FAQs

How much does an industrial energy strategy cost? ×

The costs depend on the size of the site, the available data, and the desired level of detail.

How quickly does an industrial heat pump pay for itself? ×

Cost-effectiveness depends on the technology, energy costs, and operational profile. We consider investment costs, operating costs, and savings over the entire life cycle for each measure.

Can we implement decarbonization during ongoing operations? ×

Yes, through phased sequencing during shutdowns, overhauls, or expansions. Each stage is designed to deliver climate and cost benefits right from the start.

How does the energy strategy integrate into factory and building design? ×

Energy supply, production processes, and buildings are considered together. Integrating the energy strategy into the planning process allows for early coordination of space requirements, infrastructure, and technical interfaces.

Why should the energy strategy be developed in the early planning phases? ×

Early decisions around energy supply, infrastructure, and space requirements ensure planning certainty and avoid costly adjustments in later project phases.
