Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning: new ways of thinking about energy? Saving energy and protecting the environment: these are important focuses in the development of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. High-efficiency boilers and burners; new, thriftier energy technologies such as block heat and power plants; heat pumps; systems to make use of regenerative energy sources; improved cooling system technology; optimsed hydraulic networks in heating systems; more economical ventilation and air-conditioning systems; more intelligent solutions for making use of waste heat; improved measurement and control technologies; integrated building services; centralized control and financing systems for large concerns: all these fall within the domain of building services, energy and environmental engineers working in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology. And together with construction engineers and architects, building services, Mechanical and HVAC engineers are involved in finding ways to reduce heating requirements through energy-saving building. Example: heating systems. In recent years, energy-saving boilers and burners have become well established. Low-temperature boilers and calorific value boilers use energy efficiently and are optimised to produce a minimum of emissions. Aditionally, heat pumps and block heating and power plants ensure that energy is used even more efficiently. Example: office and administration buildings. Here, comfortable and economical air-conditioning systems play an important role. And new solutions in building automation ensure that the diffent technical components function optimally together. Example: Housing. Low-energy houses demonstrate high-quality living environments and, at the same time, low energy requirements. Building services, energy and environmental engineers make important contributions to such developments - with improved components for the building shell as well as new heating, ventilation, heat recycling and control technologies.
