VGBiothermic offers the Oleotermia Genesis, a closed‑loop thermal‑oil heating system that uses electric resistive elements to provide space heating and domestic hot water without combustion. The plug‑and‑play unit delivers zero‑emission, noise‑free operation, integrates with existing radiators or under‑floor heating, and includes smart load‑management to shift electricity use to off‑peak tariffs.

Problem
Conventional gas or oil boilers rely on combustion, producing CO₂ and other pollutants, require regular maintenance, generate audible noise, and often fail to meet the stringent CTE 2025 energy‑efficiency and emission standards for new residential constructions. These drawbacks increase operating costs and limit the adoption of sustainable heating solutions in multi‑unit housing and small commercial premises.
Solution
VGBiothermic’s Oleotermia Genesis platform replaces combustion‑based boilers with a closed‑loop thermal‑oil (or paraffin) heat‑transfer system powered by smart electric resistive elements. The unit stores thermal energy in a sealed paraffin reservoir, delivering space heating and domestic hot water (ACS) through conventional radiators or under‑floor networks while maintaining a constant 0 dB acoustic footprint. Advanced control firmware modulates power input to match real‑time demand, optimizing electricity use and enabling load shifting to off‑peak tariffs. Because the system contains no burners, filters, or moving parts, it operates with zero direct emissions, minimal upkeep, and a projected service life exceeding 25 years. The design complies fully with CE, ErP, and CTE 2025 regulations, offering a plug‑and‑play retrofit for new builds or renovations without requiring extensive civil works.
Target Audience
The primary customers are homeowners, residential building owners, and property managers of multi‑unit housing or small commercial facilities seeking zero‑emission, low‑maintenance heating and hot‑water solutions that meet current European energy codes.
