With its decentralized ventilation solution, Airmaster has installed  ventilation at Aars School, which provides good indoor climate, cheap operation, and does not spoil the school’s aesthetics. Decentralized ventilation is an attractive solution for renovations and the installation of ventilation in existing buildings.

Three buildings were to have ventilation at Aars School, and Airmaster has made calculations and drawings with location and economy. This was one of the reasons why the choice fell on Airmaster, says Martin Christiansen, Area Manager at Airmaster, who also emphasizes the possibility of taking the installation of the decentralized ventilation solution in stages, which is essential for many schools.

“Many schools from the 1950s and other decades actually have a quite nice aesthetic, which many people want to preserve when they need ventilation. Back then, there were no ventilation requirements, so it's smart to be able to do it in stages - one room at a time - so that only one class has to be moved for a few days. Furthermore, it can also be done for economic reasons, where the cost can be spread out if done over a longer period. Decentralized ventilation avoids piping systems above and below the roof, and decentralized ventilation does not have to run all the time with expensive power consumption," he says.

Strong focus on energy consumption and indoor climate
Overall, energy and CO2 consumption are major foci in most construction projects today. 

Airmaster does a lot to be a green company, and their decentralized ventilation saves a lot on both energy consumption and transporting materials, which are very limited compared to pipes and insulation, etc., for central ventilation solutions, explains Martin Christiansen:

"Of course, it can make sense to include central solutions in new buildings, but less so in renovations of schools and other buildings. At Aars School, they chose our decentralized air handling unit, and here we have among others used diffuse ceiling ventilation. An efficient mixing of the fresh air and the room air is ensured."

All municipalities are now required to meet the UN's climate goals, and CO2 emissions and energy consumption play an important role in this.

Thoroughly prepared proposal and Cloud-based control
"A few years ago, we did a case study at a school where we made comparisons between central and decentralized air handling units, and the analysis showed that the total CO2 load for a decentralized ventilation solution including operation, in this case, was about 52% lower than a central VAV solution over a 25-year period. We want to live up to our own green ambitions at Airmaster and we try to optimize our own energy consumption and solutions all the time," says Martin Christiansen.


Inexpensive and effective control
Airmaster has around 200 well-trained employees - including engineers - who develop the products, calculators and draftsmen who provide price and plan proposals with CO2 level, which many can use directly for the project. One of the reasons for Aars School's choice of decentralized ventilation was also the control, which is inexpensive and efficient.

"CTS platforms are often expensive, but we have a Cloud-based solution - Airlinq Online, which can be controlled from a tablet or PC, where you have a full overview and can plan the use of the system, etc."
