Etex Building Performance GmbH

Project

Under the motto “Inspiring Ways of Living”, the Etex Group is a global pioneer in lightweight construction and makes it possible to build safe, sustainable and intelligent buildings. In total, Etex employs more than 13,500 people in 45 countries. The German company Promat, a pioneer in structural fire protection in buildings, has been part of the Etex Group since 1981. The division’s head office is located in Ratingen near Düsseldorf and has around 550 employees. In addition to eco-certified and environmentally friendly production, the company was looking for ways to further reduce its own CO₂ footprint. After a promising savings analysis, vilisto’s digital thermal management system was installed.

The comparison at the end of the first heating period with vilisto shows: Energy consumption is reduced by 24.1 percent compared to previous years thanks to intelligent heating. Despite the night-time reduction already in place, the demand for district heating was reduced by over 64,000 kilowatt hours. As a result, Etex Building Performance GmbH emits 18 tons less greenhouse gases per year and has to pay 10,607 euros less in energy costs. The investment in digital thermal management is amortized in just over three years thanks to the cost savings.
