The city of Wolfratshausen wants to supply four facilities with a central heating system.

According to the planner, this would save 100 tons of CO2 annually.

Wolfratshausen

- After the completion of the new day-care center (Kita) on Ludwig-Thoma-Straße, the city has a complete picture: In addition to the day care building, the city archive, the technical school for curative education and a day care center are located on the area.

This led to the proposal to merge all the heating systems.

The goal: to save a lot of CO2 by installing a central and, above all, energy-efficient heating system.

Christian Schuhmacher, managing director of the engineering office Schuhmacher and André in Bad Tölz, explained to the members of the building committee in their most recent meeting the possible construction of a gas-fired combined heat and power unit (CHP).

Such a system did not meet with approval from all city councils.

With the implementation of this project, the city would set a good example as a municipal developer and set a publicly effective signal within the framework of the energy transition. "

Klaus Heilinglechner, Mayor of Wolfratshausen

Mayor Klaus Heilinglechner (BVW) predicted the presentation: “The city would set a good example with the implementation of this project as a municipal builder and set a publicly effective example within the framework of the energy transition.” According to Schuhmacher, the CHP would generate around 29 percent of the heat required supply, the rest could be provided by means of two pellet boilers.

The central system could be installed in the boiler room of the daycare basement.

Schuhmacher calculated that 81 tons of pellets per year would be required, which corresponds to three to four truckloads.

One kilo of pellets burned leaves 0.5 grams of ash, the bottom line being 400 kilos a year.

According to the planner, the ash is used as fertilizer or disposed of.

The annual gas consumption corresponds to 55,000 liters of oil

Schuhmacher predicted that "100 tons of CO2 will be avoided" per year if the municipality should opt for a CHP plus connected pellet heating.

With a view to the current energy requirements of the city archive and the adjacent city properties, he sees a need for action.

The annual gas consumption corresponds to the equivalent of 55,000 liters of oil.

“Something's really going on here,” stated the specialist planner.

"And in times of the energy turnaround, you should slowly move away from gas."

The city council has already provided 580,000 euros for the project in the 2020 budget.

According to initial estimates, the overall measure will cost almost 460,000 euros - according to information from Schuhmacher, the rafting town can count on more than 130,000 euros in subsidies.

Criticism comes from City Councilor Richard Kugler

"130,000 euros grant?

We like to hear that, ”said Josef Praller, chairman of the BVW parliamentary group.

He pleaded for continuing on the path chosen.

Richard Kugler (WOR list) disagreed.

The head of the eponymous specialist company for heating, plumbing and solar systems pointed out that “a CHP runs all day and produces heat that I don't need”.

A CHP is "not the perfect solution", instead Kugler suggested a solar thermal system.

Rudi Seibt (Greens) advocated “adapting the heat requirement to reality”.

Why a CHP at all? “Doesn't solar thermal energy make more sense?” Seibt asked Franz Hofner, responsible for municipal land and buildings in the town hall, to send the energy certificates for the properties on the corner of Ludwig-Thoma-Straße / Steghiaslweg / Bahnhofstraße to all city councilors.

Seibt insisted several times, until Hofner said “Yes” and town hall chief Heilinglechner ended the expert dispute between the head of municipal building management and the qualified electrical engineer with a word of power.

Last reply by Seibt: "Don't just keep talking like that."

What now?

"And now it goes on," said the mayor.

Next, a profitability calculation must be made.
