Micronel Goes Energy Independent
Harmony between people and the environment is one of our ideals and basic principles. Wherever technically and economically sensible and possible, we strive to enter into and maintain materials, processes, technologies and trade relationships in an ecological sense. Then, for example, our highly efficient blowers with brushless motors make a significant contribution to energy efficiency in our customer applications. Resource-saving working methods are also important to us in our office and production environment. For credible implementation, we put a photovoltaic system into operation for the main building at Zürcherstrasse 51 in spring 2022.
The typical annual yield of around 110 MWh corresponds to:
- 5 million working hours on a computer or
- the preparation of 110 000 meals for four people each or
- the preparation of about 7.7 million cups of coffee or
- the production of 140 000 fans
The current Micronel electricity requirement amounts to approx. 270 MWh per year. In order to be able to cover all this one day, we will also cover the second building at Zürcherstrasse 53 with photovoltaics.
It remains our goal to continue to develop in terms of energy efficiency and resource conservation, be it in product design or in business operations.
