The big picture
HERZ labratory stand in the Netherlands

In building services engineering, it is not only theoretical knowledge that counts – an understanding of the complex interrelationships in the system is crucial. Because only those who understand the interrelationships can truly create future-oriented solutions. That is why HERZ places a strong emphasis on practical training and further education, not only in Austria, as is well known, but also internationally. At the Jouwopleiding training centre in the Netherlands, prospective specialists and HERZ's contribution to this educational process is a state-of-the-art and fully equipped hydraulic HERZ laboratory stand, which serves as the centrepiece for practical training.

At the Jouwopleiding training centre in the Netherlands, plumbers from the industry were given the opportunity to acquire extensive knowledge as part of their further training. After successfully completing the course, they received a certificate from Techniek Nederland, the trade association for technical service providers, installation companies and the technical retail trade. This comprehensive training gives plumbers the tools they need to make their mark in a highly competitive market.

Frank Tesar, Country Manager HERZ Netherlands, is particularly pleased about the collaboration: ‘My team in the Netherlands and I are very proud of the excellent collaboration with Jouwopleiding, which we started in spring 2024 and will continue to intensify. In addition to the theoretical part, we offer training participants the opportunity to get to know our HERZ products in practice at a specially constructed laboratory stand. True to the motto: Be part of the HERZ experience.’

The HERZ laboratory stand in the Netherlands includes all the essential components of a heating system: from hydraulic interface units, thermostatic heads, valves, differential pressure controllers, and nubbed panels to volume flow controllers and pipes. Participants not only get to know the individual parts through the training, but also learn how they interact with each other and how even the smallest changes in the system affect overall performance.
