Energy consumption
Increasingly demanding requirements for air conditioning of pharmaceutical production facilities as well as new plants and buildings coming on stream led to rising energy figures over the last
few years. The peak in 2003 is explained by the extremely hot Summer
in Europe which caused an increasing energy demand for cooling
purposes. To minimize the arising increase in consumption, measures to optimize energy efficiency such as heat recovery in air conditioning systems have been installed. While the absolute energy demand is rising, the consumption in relation to production quantities is declining. This effect is partially to be ascribed to the higher capacity utilisation.
