Process & Building Technologies
Our process and building technologies enable you to transform your energy consumption, production efficiency and business continuity all at once. They make the difference between falling behind and staying ahead, given that energy, raw materials and time are becoming increasingly expensive. We help industrial companies to optimise and modernise their systems, from steam and cooling systems to building management systems. The result: lower energy costs, less waste and higher production efficiency.
Optimise your industrial installations to reduce energy costs and cut CO₂ emissions
Industrial companies are under increasing pressure to operate in an energy-efficient and carbon-neutral manner. Outdated installations pose a risk in terms of costs, compliance and business continuity. Many companies are missing out on opportunities for cost savings, efficiency gains and reputational improvement due to these common challenges:
- Legal obligations & risks: outdated installations, banned F-gases, steam boilers that do not comply with energy and emissions standards.
- High costs & inefficiency: oversized boilers and cooling systems, high energy consumption, expensive maintenance contracts.
- Business continuity: outdated systems increase the risk of downtime and loss of production.
- Competitive pressure & sustainability: customers and stakeholders expect CO₂ reduction, circularity and environmental sustainability.
Energy-efficient, future-proof systems
At Encon, we combine technical expertise with strategic insight. We support industrial companies in the design, replacement and optimisation of critical installations. Our focus is always on cost savings, CO₂ reduction and operational reliability.
Why we make a difference
Encon offers you independent expertise. We do not sell systems, but select the most suitable solution for your business. We owe our strong results to a proven methodology, which consists of concept analysis and a master plan for cooling, heating and steam, including TCO calculations and long-term optimisation. In addition, our strong negotiating position also plays a major role. This enables us to guide the preparation of performance specifications and tendering processes, leading to savings of 7–15% on investment and maintenance costs.
Our approach
We assist industrial companies in the design, replacement and optimisation of technical installations that are crucial to their production and energy supply:
- Analysis & audit: assessing energy consumption, investment options, grants, payback period and return on investment.
- Planning & optimisation: selection of systems such as: cooling systems, sustainable heating solutions (heat pumps, biomass, hydrogen-ready systems), steam systems, heat recovery (process heat, waste heat for building heating), site greening (energy- and climate-neutral master plan)
- Implementation & monitoring: a fully managed service from A to Z — tendering, project management, quality control and post-completion monitoring.
Tangible benefits for your business
Our customers achieve tangible benefits in four key areas:
- Financially, for example, a 7–12% reduction in CAPEX through smart procurement, up to 20% savings in OPEX on maintenance and energy consumption, and optimisation of fuel and energy consumption.
- ESG performance, for example, significant CO₂ reductions through electrification, efficient technologies, natural refrigerants and heat recovery (reductions of up to 80% possible) & innovative applications such as heat pumps, hydrogen-ready steam boilers and site greening.
- Operational reliability, for example, reliable systems with fewer breakdowns, guaranteed business continuity and predictable maintenance.
- Reputation, for example, a strengthened image as a sustainable, innovative and forward-looking company & strategic positioning vis-à-vis customers, retailers and investors.
Discover our solutions in process and building services engineering
Building heating and cooling systems
By optimising a building’s thermal systems, you can improve the performance of its heating, cooling and ventilation. This reduces energy consumption and increases thermal comfort within your building.
Thermal processing installations
Optimising thermal process plants improves the efficiency of industrial heating processes. This includes reduced heat loss, better control and maximum utilisation of energy.
Water and Building Services Engineering
Technical installations include, amongst other things, lighting, electricity and water. By optimising these systems, you can reduce energy consumption, improve comfort and meet stricter energy requirements.
Energy Transition Management
Encon’s transition management provides companies with temporary support and expertise to efficiently implement sustainability and energy-related targets, without putting pressure on day-to-day operations.
