BuildingregulaTionstoday and tomorrow

tHe fUtUre iS all reaDY HereModular Buildings with a “green” profile

are all ready a reality. Why?

Because customers are demanding respon-

sible solutions. Both public and private

investors are aware of their own company

profile. Features like comfort, indoor cli-

mate, architecture are integrated conditions

that will create an attractive work place.

Those with the contemporary and innova-

tive answers to above issues will also get

the business.

renovation or extenSionMany countries are obliged to reduce

their energy consumption and CO2 emis-

sions. This requires new answers to energy

consumption in our buildings. Even though

budgets are tight, public subsidiaries are be-

ing directed towards renovation of existing

buildings. These buildings are often schools,

day care centres, hospitals and other public

buildings. Where extension of an existing

building is being considered, a modular

building shall most certainly be considered,

and same demands regarding energy con-

sumption and indoor climate apply.

Modular buildings with a green profile

Due to the units flexibility and easy installation they

are perfect for modular buildings, which is why we

have many years of experience providing service to

manufacturers of pavilions, light constructions and

modular buildings. Airmaster understands what is of

great importance to these types of projects. Decentral-

ized ventilation is often proven to be less expensive than

traditional solutions involving centralized ventilation.

5

enerGY efficiencY reqUireMentSFuture revisions of national building regulations

shall see new limits for energy consumption

in buildings, including modular buildings. In

some parts of Europe, building regulations

already apply for both permanent and tem-

porary buildings; disregarding the period of

time it is in use. Ventilation is an integrated

part of these regulations, and cannot be

disregarded when it comes to comfort,

energy consumption, and health.

6

The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) is the prime source of expertise for sustainable buildings. Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in rooms are indicators of the general indoor air quality of a building. CIBSE recommends a CO2 concentration of no more than 900 ppm to maintain comfort.

7

Even though most changes in the building regulations

regarding energy consumption are concentrated on insula-

tion, heat loss efficient heating systems etc., other equally

important issues, are now being dealt with. Most countries

now have limits to the level of CO2 in teaching facilities and

day care centres. The learning ability and general comfort is

severely influenced by the content of CO2 in the air. Without

proper ventilation the level will exceed the limits only after a

few minutes of teaching.

Failing to ventilate in a responsible way, significant energy

is being wasted through heating and electricity costs. 40%

of all energy consumption is directly related to heating of

buildings. Target is by 2020 to reduce this by 75%.

Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery contributes signifi-

cantly to achieve this objective, and at the same time delivers

optimal conditions for humans to live, learn and work.

a green energy saving concepTThink green and cost-effective - offer your customers a green building concept that, today and for the future, sets the highest standard in energy efficiency, health and comfort. A healthy and fresh indoor environment, through demand controlled decentralized ventilation with heat recovery, is perfect with intelligent, well-designed and sustainable construction.

tHe GreeneSt ventilation on tHe MarKetVentilation units from Airmaster have some of the

lowest energy consumption as a result of using

energy efficient components. Substantial savings

can be achieved by using demand controlled decen-

tralised heat recovery ventilation, where and when

needed, without huge extra costs for controlling de-

vices. This becomes very clear on the bottom line,

when you look at the building’s overall energy bill.

Facts about airmaster ventilation units:

• AM 100 is suitable to provide ven-

tilation for an office of 10-15 sqm.

or a dwelling of 75-100 sqm., for

less than € 1 worth of electricity

a week. The rest of our pro-ducts

are equally cost effective.

• Our cross-counterflow heat

exchangers recover most of the

heat from the exhaust air and

transfers it to the supply air. All

units recover more than 80% at

full capacity, but more than 90% if

reduced in capacity (DCV or smart

timer settings).

• Mounting of the units is quick

and easy. Units can be installed

and operational typically within 2

hours, excluding time taken to core

drill the walls.

• All units, designed for mounting

under the ceiling and with

horizontal supply and extract

to outside, can be fitted with a

cooling module. Cooling capacity

is outside air temperature -15°C,

which is adequate for most

European conditions. The cooling

modules can be retrofitted.

A further 10-15% increase in efficiency

if temperature is right.

The same conditions apply for the

learning ability for school children.

Fully automated ventilation with DCV

– the unit needs no further attention.

A 10-15% increase in work efficiency from

employees, if air quality is high.

Decentralised ventilation gives you the freedom to change your mind.

The ventilation can be easily re-configured if the room is to

be used for a different purpose.

11

The CC units are compatible with the full

range of AM horizontal models, LON® and

the individual control panels, making the AM

ventilation systems an efficient, economic

and future-proof solution.

freeDoM to cHanGe YoUr MinDDecentralized ventilation from Airmaster means

freedom to change your mind. Efficient ventila-

tion, without ducts and pipes and their acces-

sories like fire dampers. It is perfect for projects

such as pavilions and barracks, where rooms

often change purposes.

The units are often mounted in such a way that a

fire cell is not crossed, in that way a compulsory

fire damper is not necessary - this will save time

and money for maintenance and installation.

Airmaster units are used in offices, conference

rooms, schools, day care centres and dwellings

– whether it comes to traditional or modular

buildings.

coolinG UnitS DeSiGneD, SiZeD anD aDapteD to tHe ventilation UnitSThe cooling unit (CC) for the AM range provides

the finishing touch for the market’s most flexible

ventilation system. The dedicated cooling units

(CC) make decentralised ventilation the obvious

solution – removing the need for separate cool-

ing and ventilation.

Flexibility does not mean that Airmaster com-

promises comfort. We offer the possibility to

fit a cooling unit to all wall-mounted horizontal

models, which is possible both for new installa-

tions and for retrofitting.

larger rooms and special conditionsAM 900 and AM 1200 are developed for the demanding needs in larger rooms with many people gathered or other rooms, e.g. class rooms, which high ventilation demand.

indoorcliMaTein Perfect balance

a Unit for everY applicationThe AM range is available in various models with

different intelligent control solutions, which makes

the daily operation easier and lower the expenses

for ventilation. Correct dimensioning of the system

reduces the energy consumption while optimal

control constantly monitors the need for ventilation,

automatically adjusting the systems performance to

the actual conditions.

tHe freeDoM of total controlWith Airmaster ventilation, it is possible to pick

out the type of system control that fits the building

project – and that will suit the use of the building.

AM ventilation comes with an intuitive control panel

which makes it easy to program and operate the

system manually or automatically. Motion and CO2

sensors keep the energy consumption and CO2 level

at acceptable levels.

bUilDinG ManaGeMent SYSteMS = bMSIn large buildings with numerous units, the central

control via PC may be the optimal solution. In this

way you keep track of operation, temperature and

the CO2 level in the air.

regular and larger classroomsAM 800 is especially developed for classrooms, where, at times, the need for air exchange with-out noise and draught is substantial. To keep a perfect balance between the use of energy and indoor climate the system can be controlled and programmed in numerous sophisticated ways.

Control using motion sensorsLast one to leave shuts off the ventilation, or…? With motion sensors you can make sure that the venti lation is not running, when the room is empty. This energy consumption is limited to the actual time of need for it.

Control using Co2 sensorsWhen you notice that the CO2 level in the room is too high, it is already too late. With a CO2 sensor the CO2 level is constantly being monitored and kept below a predefined limit.

Control using lon, Modbus, KnX or baCnetVentilation with Airmaster is easily controlled from a PC and is integrated with other building automation. From a local PC you get the full overview of operation and

temperature as well as the possibility of programming the units for the

specific use of the rooms.

small and mid-sized roomsAM 100, AM 300 and AM 500 are suited for small and mid-sized rooms and offices. The right model is chosen based on precise information about the size and use of the room.

Control panelsAll Airmasters air handling units are controlled by fully automatic, intelligent control system – Airlinq. Airlinq control system consists of two control boxes (AQC L / AQC P) and two control panels (Viva / Orbit).Airlinq allows full use of units directly after installation. All basic functions are pre-programmed by the factory.
