Union des industries et métiers de la métallurgie - UIMM
Bruges
For its 1000 m² workshop, the UIMM wanted to significantly reduce its gas consumption and comply with environmental standards (Tertiary Decree / RE2020). To meet this challenge, an innovative solar thermal energy recovery solution, R' Booster, was installed on 220m² of the facade. A precise prediction of the facade's energy production was carried out using our software, then the solution was sized according to its implementation. This installation, carried out without disrupting activities, integrates a high-performance heating system in winter, night cooling in summer, and air quality improvement. A real-time monitoring screen allows visualization of performance. A 77% reduction in the energy bill was observed during the winter of 2024-2025, while maintaining optimal thermal comfort. Employees particularly insist on the improvement of air quality. Thanks to R' Booster, the cost per kWh remains stable and low, without loss of performance for 30-40 years.
Environmental : •77% reduction in GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions •Maintenance of a stable temperature between 16 and 22 °C all year round •Reduction of air conditioning usage thanks to free-cooling Social : •Improvement of air quality thanks to significant air renewal Economic : •The renovation of part of the facades reduces energy consumption in winter by 77% •Low and stable kWh price over time Specific Use Cases : •120 kWc •Allows monthly savings of 4.5 MWh in winter •Avoids 23 tons
Installing R'Booster marked a decisive turning point for our building. Thanks to this solution, we have cut our energy costs while considerably improving the thermal comfort of our occupants. Indoor air quality is also much better, which enhances the well-being of our teams. R'Booster exceeds our expectations, both in terms of energy savings and our commitment to the environment.
M. Hotte, Head of UIMM Bruges
R' Booster seeks to reduce the energy bill thanks to an innovative, efficient, reliable, durable hybrid solar solution with low manufacturing and operating costs. The solution helps provide long-lasting heat by transforming the walls of metal-clad buildings into a giant radiator using the sun. The system reduces the consumption of heating in winter, cooling in summer at night and drying drying agricultural food, wood, industrial waste, or sludge from sewage treatment plants. It adapts to all types of buildings both during construction or renovation. With a duration of 50 years, this solution produces at least 120 times more energy than it consumes. Customers can save up to 83% on energy bills while reducing their carbon footprint.
