Example of an industrial chicken coop, French-speaking Switzerland
The situation
A poultry farmer facing high energy costs. An R290 air-source heat pump with propane backup. Increasing pressure on margins. Tightening CO₂ regulations. And one absolute requirement: production cannot stop.
The challenge
Reduce both energy costs and CO₂ emissions at the same time—without interrupting production and without a massive initial investment.
What VITO has done
- Analysis of consumption patterns by equipment and production cycle
- Smart control of air-source heat pumps: optimizing heating cycles
- Real-time consumption monitoring
- Documented behavioral optimization recommendations
The result
Significant reduction in energy costs. Documented and auditable CO₂ reduction. Peace of mind in operation.
