Thomas Kübler has a pulse. “The boiling point couldn’t be higher,” he says. The entrepreneur from the Palatinate has just found out that the cabinet in Berlin wants to decide on that day whether the new Building Energy Act (GEG) will come before the summer break in the Bundestag. Kübler doesn’t even know at this hour whether or how his heating systems have been included in the government draft. “In the worst case,” he says, “it takes away our existence.”

For Kübler, economic existence means heating. More precisely: infrared heaters. Not the small electrically powered ones for the bathroom, but large ones, usually heated with gas, for industrial halls. For very large buildings, with ceilings that can sometimes be more than 20 meters high. He has already equipped almost 20,000 projects with his heaters. They hang in the factories of medium-sized companies like Herrenknecht, in the fish auction hall in Hamburg, in tennis halls, exhibition halls, repair stations. Kübler is the classic small medium-sized company: 135 employees, 15 million euros annual turnover, wholeheartedly involved.
