Energy efficiency campaign at the St. Vincent Children's Center
The Katholische Jugendfürsorge der Diözese Regensburg e.V. is responsible for the St. Vincent Children's Center in Johann-Hösl-Straße. The facility is home to 180 children and young people aged between five and twenty who require inpatient or semi-residential educational support. Around 140 children and young people live in the curative education and therapeutic areas of the children's center. The KJF employs around 150 staff in this facility. In spring, Prof. Markus Brautsch from the Institute for Energy Technology at the Amberg/Weiden University of Applied Sciences presented his integral energy concept for St. Vincent. His recommendations are now being implemented. Energy-saving measures have also been implemented in the other KJF facilities.
The natural gas cogeneration plant has been in operation since Monday and generates 33 kW of electrical and 71 kW of thermal power. The 3 old boilers (1,200 kW) are currently being replaced by a condensing boiler and a low-temperature gas boiler (total output now only 640 kW!), the installation of regulated pumps, hydraulic balancing in the pipe network, the installation of the buffer storage tank and the renewal of the measurement and control technology. Catholic Youth Welfare and our project manager Robert Göttfried are thus bringing the building technology back up to date.
The Gammel Engineering team would like to thank the KJF for more than 25 years of trusting cooperation!

FUTURE-proof concepts against the energy shock in milk and cheese production
Rising energy and raw material prices can be counteracted by using sustainable energy technologies and thus reducing CO2 emissions. This not only significantly reduces cost explosions, but also reduces your own ecological footprint. Pioneers in the dairy industry are also focusing on this.
