Project

The municipality of Henstedt-Ulzburg in Schleswig-Holstein is fully committed to climate protection and has been recognized several times in recent years as an environmentally friendly municipality by the non-profit Society for Energy and Climate Protection Schleswig-Holstein (EKSH). At the 2019 Energy Olympics, the municipality once again impressed the jury with the introduction of digital heat management through the installation of vilisto’s self-learning thermostats on all radiators in the town hall. “Our team was looking for a long-term solution to adapt the radiator control to our individual needs and thus reduce our heating costs and save CO2,” explains Lars Möller, Head of Central Property and Building Management in Henstedt-Ulzburg.

After conducting a free project analysis, vilisto predicted high savings potential and a short payback period for the exemplary energy project based on the usage and building situation. Since January 2020, all rooms in the town hall have been heated automatically according to demand. With success: 22.6% of heating energy has been saved compared to previous years – while maintaining the same level of comfort for town hall employees and visitors.

*Forecast values based on weather-adjusted heat quantity measurement in accordance with VDI 3807 & 4710 under consistent conditions.

Thanks to the self-learning radiator thermostats, the town hall was able to save around 20 percent in heating energy last year compared to previous years. In a next step, we will examine whether the technology can also be used to save energy in other municipal buildings, such as schools.
