Celebrating World Ventil8 Day: Enabling Action for Better Ventilation

Emin Toku - Service Manager in Germany

Emin Toku leads a team focused on delivering excellent service and optimal solutions, he looks at what our ventilation solutions can do.

“Improved ventilation ensures a constant supply of fresh air, dilutes indoor pollutant, and overall enhances air quality. It regulates humidity, reduces the risk of breathing difficulties and increases comfort and productivity.”

We asked Emin what his main interests are in the HVAC industry.

“The continuous advancement of technology, enabling more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. The direct impact our systems have on the well-being and health of people in buildings. And the various opportunities offered by retrofit and modernisation projects to optimise existing installations, extending their lifespan and at the same time reduce energy consumption and operating costs.”

Amirhossein Owji - Lean and Quality Manager

Manufacturing innovation is core to our development and how we can bring the best possible solutions to our customers far and wide.

Amirhossein Owji, had this to say:

“As a Lean and Quality Manager, I focus on driving process improvements and ensuring that our manufacturing aligns with high standards for efficiency and quality. Our Dynamic Quality Control System is a standout innovation in our manufacturing process. It allows us to carefully address the diverse needs of different customers within a production environment that specializes in custom HVAC solutions. By prioritizing first-time quality, this system ensures that our products are not only built to exact specifications but are also highly reliable for each unique application.”

We asked Amirhossein what his main interests are in the HVAC industry.

“The evolving technology in ventilation systems that support health and well-being. Innovations that make our processes more flexible and responsive to new customer needs. And the increasing integration of smart, data-driven control systems for enhanced indoor air quality.”

Graham Hordern - Product Marketing Manager

We have such a wide array of expert people working at FläktGroup each with their own varying set of skills and talent. Graham Hordern whose focus is on our centralised controls, is very passionate about the HVAC industry.

“As someone who has come from a different industry, I find it all still very fascinating even after nearly 10 ten years. Having quality clean air delivered to any part of a building is extremely important to our well-being but it is something that pre the pandemic we all pretty much took for granted. So now more than ever it is important we help building owners, designers and building users achieve the right indoor climate. Being responsible for the controls of these localised air delivery product controls is exciting and satisfying knowing we can do this extremely well and without increasing the energy consumption of the building. These are exciting times with the need to save energy, our controls can help customers do this without breaking the bank and this is what gets me up in the morning.”

When it comes to our centralised controls Graham is certainly the expert as he talks about our industry leading control system FläktEdge.

“FläktGroup is an innovative company which means we are always looking forward. Our controls have been designed to meet the highest requirements for energy efficiency at the product level (room/zone), at a floor level and now with FläktEdge the whole building. In Europe the Energy performance Building Directive exists and now we have the UK net zero carbon building standard pilot (UKNZCBS) both of which emphasise the need to reduce operational energy use on a day-to-day basis. Our product controls have been designed to meet the requirements of these standards, offering the customer demand control ventilation with occupied and unoccupied modes, presence detection and built-in schedule to ensure the best energy efficiency in a room or space.”

“Our FläktEdge centralised control solution offers a full building ventilation monitoring, measurement and control solution. FläktEdge helps achieve these strict new standards for new and existing buildings.  How? Well one way is by reducing the air flow and pressure in the ventilation duct. This reduces the output required from the air handling unit which reduces the energy demand. This is an important element in achieving targets for net zero of fossil fuel usage, especially when 40% of a buildings energy usage is from the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), equipment. This provides our customers with smart demand control ventilation further enhancing the energy savings whilst not impairing the air quality. In a nutshell, we help buildings meet directives for lowering fossil fuel usage in buildings whilst ensuring the indoor climate is optimised for use.”

Silas Bäuerle – Director: Digitalization and Service products

“The HVAC industry is a major contributor to deliver a comfortable environment for buildings all over the planet. While being a conservative industry for decades, business models and the technology as such are now at a certain degree of majority that the impact will drive improvement in many ways. Especially improving the environmental footprint by demand-controlled air handling equipment and extended life cycles including less traveling from a service perspective are interesting perspectives.”

Reducing environmental impact in buildings has always been an important goal for us and we always strive towards building a better quality of indoor building ventilation solutions.

“For me the most interesting part, at the moment, are expectations for the HVAC future. Remote access, cloud technologies and at some point, the optimization using AI are going to influence the industry massively. The landscape of solutions will look a lot different 20 years from now. Putting this development into the focus of current product management, equipment needs to be designed including features that make it easy to connect and adapt to the technologies of the future.”
