Description

How will we heat our homes in the future?

We will need to switch to sustainable and renewable energy sources, as fossil fuels have no long-term prospects. Furthermore, conventional heating systems with complex infrastructures cannot adequately meet individual heating needs. The ‘Hotspot’ project is exploring the possibilities of decentralised, electricity-based heating. The targeted creation of small heat zones in a room makes heating both more comfortable and more efficient. The product family includes a heating panel for large-area heating and mobile, modular heat storage units for heating close to the body. The products can respond flexibly to individual heating needs and fit seamlessly into living environments.
