Cologne Opera House – Germany : ICEBAT Commissioning

Air conditioning has become essential for theatres. The air-conditioning requirements of these cultural buildings are naturally intermittent, with significant power peaks during performances.

Thermal energy storage systems, which are economical and sustainable, enable a reduction of up to 60% in the power installed and drawn from the networks, maximise the self-consumption of carbon-free energy and optimise the building’s energy bill.

Congratulations to the FAFCO, GfKK mbH and Engie GmbH teams on the commissioning last week of the 3.3MWh ICEBAT for the new opera house in Cologne.
