Education with HERZ
Passing on knowledge

At HERZ, training and knowledge transfer are not just empty words, but everyday practice. HERZ wants to supply not only products, but also expertise – practical, understandable and always with a view to on-site application. Whether pupils, students or professionals, HERZ is there to support when it comes to in-depth knowledge of building services engineering. The focus is always on communicating complex topics in an understandable way and demonstrating practical solutions.

HERZ employees were once again actively sharing their knowledge this autumn. One focus was on hydraulic balancing – a key issue for energy efficiency in buildings. However, HERZ is not only active in this area and also shares its expertise in related topics such as measuring systems and energy-efficient solutions in specialised areas such as healthcare.

Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying

The 46th conference and training session for energy experts took place at the Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying in October 2025. Around 50 energy experts from all over Austria – from Vorarlberg to Burgenland – came together. HERZ was also among the speakers, focusing on hydraulic balancing and its simple implementation in practice using valves. "It is important to me that people not only listen, but also understand how they can really implement the solutions in everyday life. Then the whole thing is fun and makes sense", says Patrick Rajkovats, who has been giving HERZ presentations for years. His expertise goes far beyond the products: Rajkovats has a fundamental understanding of all aspects of building technology and knows how to convey complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand and practical. No wonder he was ‘overrun’ with questions even during the breaks – the participants appreciate his expertise and his lively way of imparting knowledge.

ÖVKT Autumn Symposium: Energy efficiency in healthcare

The autumn symposium of the Austrian Association of Hospital Technicians (ÖVKT) focused on the energy efficiency of building services systems in the healthcare sector. Anton Mayer, Head of HERZ Application Technology and Product Management, explained to around 50 attendees how the requirements of the European Green Deal can be implemented and how hydraulic balancing can contribute to the efficient implementation of these requirements. The aim is to reduce emissions in Europe by at least 50% by 2030 and to become climate neutral by 2050. Participants were given practical solutions on how to implement the requirements in their facilities – another example of how HERZ combines theory and practice in a meaningful way.

Linz vocational school: Measuring computers and more

HERZ focuses on more than just hydraulic balancing. At the vocational school in Linz, teachers from the building technology department received valuable tips and tricks for working with measuring computers. Mr. Rajkovats led the training session and demonstrated what really matters when it comes to measurements.

Practical, individual and free of charge

HERZ offers training courses free of charge – either directly at the company headquarters or flexibly on site at the customer's premises, in schools or at partners' premises. In this way, the company wants to ensure that specialist knowledge is available exactly where it is needed.
