As part of the energy transition process initiated by a major railway maintenance industrial hub, the main requirement was to replace the existing gas heating system with a solution that was more efficient, reliable, and capable of significantly reducing environmental impact. The site, which covers a total area of 27,000 m², required reliable, scalable technology that could ensure adequate delivery temperatures, even in winter.

The starting point

The decision to heat the premises in a sustainable manner stemmed from the company's desire to improve the site's overall efficiency and reduce emissions.
In addition to measures already implemented to improve energy efficiency, such as the thermal insulation of the building, the replacement of windows and doors, the installation of LED lighting and a photovoltaic plant, the conversion of the heating system was a key step.
The presence of underfloor heating facilitated this transition by enabling the delivery temperature to be lowered successfully from 75 °C to 55 °C, and by making it possible to simulate the performance of any new heat pumps.
