INDUSTRIAL Production reports on industrial building cooling without traditional air conditioning
The specialist publication INDUSTRIAL Production reports in a current article on a cooling concept for industrial buildings, which does without traditional air conditioning and can significantly reduce energy consumption.
For technical decision-makers in industry, the article provides practical insights into modern hall conditioning, two-stage adiabatic cooling and the question of how production halls can be operated economically, sustainably, and reliably even with rising temperatures.

The project in detail
The publication focuses on the question of how large industrial and production halls can in the future be efficiently cooled – without conventional air conditioning systems with high energy consumption. Especially with rising outdoor temperatures, internal heat loads, and increasing demands on working conditions, hall cooling is increasingly becoming a strategic issue for companies.
The article shows that modern hall conditioning does not have to be conceived in terms of maximum cooling capacity. Instead, integrated concepts come to the forefront, combining fresh air, air guidance, two-stage adiabatic cooling, and demand-driven temperature control. Sustainable Hall Conditioning takes this approach and considers the hall as a holistic system to jointly optimize temperature, air quality, humidity, energy consumption, and operational safety.
The press article highlights:
- Cooling without conventional refrigeration systems: Under suitable conditions, industrial halls can be cooled without energy-intensive compression refrigeration.
- Significantly reduced energy consumption: According to INFRANORM® the energy consumption of hall cooling can be reduced by up to 95 percent compared to conventional refrigeration systems.
- Two-stage adiabatic cooling: The combination of indirect pre-cooling and direct adiabatic cooling increases cooling capacity while simultaneously reducing moisture input.
- Stable conditions for production and personnel: The goal is stable temperatures, controlled humidity, and consistent conditions for employees, machinery, and processes.
- Planning based on simulations: Site-specific weather data, hall geometry, and internal heat loads are used to estimate the expected cooling capacity even before project commencement.
- Systemic approach: Existing heating and ventilation systems do not need to be replaced but can be supplemented – for example, with cooling, ventilation, air purification, heat recovery, or precision air conditioning.
Why this approach is relevant for industry
The article from INDUSTRIAL Production addresses a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant for many industrial companies: How can large halls be operated efficiently, economically, and sustainably under changing climatic conditions?
Traditional refrigeration systems in large-volume industrial halls often entail high energy consumption, complex infrastructure, and ongoing operating costs. At the same time, demands for working conditions, process reliability, energy efficiency, and sustainability are increasing.
The described approach demonstrates a clear shift in perspective: industrial halls are not simply equipped with additional refrigeration technology but are conditioned holistically. Sustainable Hall Conditioning considers the entire hall as a functional system – from fresh air supply and air distribution to cooling strategy and operational safety.
For companies, this means more than just lower energy costs. Modern hall conditioning can help reduce CO₂ emissions, future-proof production sites, and integrate cooling as part of a sustainable industrial infrastructure.
About INDUSTRIAL Production
INDUSTRIAL Production is a German-language trade medium for industrial production, manufacturing technologies, automation, energy efficiency, and sustainable industrial processes. The portal targets decision-makers in manufacturing companies and reports on technical innovations, economic developments, and practical solutions for industry.
The publication shows that energy-efficient hall cooling without traditional air conditioning is increasingly perceived as a relevant future topic in industry. For INFRANORM® the report further highlights that holistic concepts like Sustainable Hall Conditioning play a crucial role in the transformation of industrial buildings.
The article makes it clear: To operate industrial halls economically, sustainably, and safely in the long term, cooling must be rethought – not as an isolated cooling solution, but as an intelligent overall system for modern production infrastructure.
