Green energy: Hager's innovative products and solutions for climate-positive homes make a positive contribution to our future
Most architects and planners know that building solely from the perspective of design is no longer in tune with the times. In view of the worldwide consequences of advancing climate change, the focus is increasingly shifting towards more environmentally friendly and resource-saving planning and construction.
A well-thought-out and comprehensive solution: the flow energy management system for private households optimises the storage, management and charging of self-generated energy
Clever energy management
With Hager's flow energy management system, single-family homes can be planned in such a way that they have as little impact on the environment and climate as possible. To this end, an energy storage system stores the solar power from the house's own photovoltaic system, making it available at any time of day or night. In addition, an intelligent energy manager controls the energy flow, taking into account the current electricity price, the current user behaviour, the current weather conditions and the current battery status.

Up-to-date knowledge
Hager supports architects and planners in their projects not only with innovative product solutions such as flow, but also with technical expertise, for example in the form of webinars. These free-of-charge training courses impart sound knowledge and also provide valuable information. Architects and planners can also learn about climate-positive planning and building.‘As an architect, you have to turn yourself into a kind of sponge and soak up all the information and solutions available. And you have to look for competent partners like Hager, who take a good part of the complexity off your shoulders’
The expert-led webinars on this topic cover, for example, the flow energy management system, including application cases; they discuss funding opportunities and consulting services for sustainable building; carry out a cost-benefit analysis and present energy-efficient single-family house projects. Practical tips for planning and building single-family houses that have been consistently converted to renewable energies round off the training programme.

In addition to imparting knowledge, Hager also regularly presents inspiring stories. With its so-called ‘out of the box’ stories, architects and planners regularly share their creative ideas and concepts on the company's website. Sascha Arnold, for example, reports in detail on his current project. The Munich-based architect has been building a sustainable home on Lake Ammersee for himself and his family since February 2023.
