21 October marks World Energy Saving Day, an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of using energy responsibly and promoting solutions that help reduce energy consumption.

In commercial buildings, industrial facilities and public spaces, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) account for a significant share of energy consumption. Therefore, choosing efficient equipment and adapting its operation to the actual needs of each installation is essential to optimise resources and improve energy performance.

At Airtècnics, we design and manufacture HVAC solutions that contribute to this goal, including air curtains and EC FanGrid ventilation systems.

Air curtains: reducing energy losses through doorways

Open doorways are points of air exchange between the inside and outside of a building. In air-conditioned spaces, this exchange can lead to the loss of heated or cooled indoor air, increasing the energy required to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.

Airtècnics air curtains create an air barrier that reduces the entry of outside air and the escape of indoor air through doorways. This helps limit air infiltration, maintain thermal comfort and reduce the load on HVAC systems.

This solution allows doors to remain open without the need for physical barriers, making it particularly useful in retail premises, supermarkets, public buildings, logistics centres and industrial facilities. When correctly selected and sized, air curtains can contribute to improving a building's energy efficiency.

EC FanGrid: efficient, modular ventilation

Airtècnics EC FanGrid technology combines several fans with EC motors in a single unit, providing a modular, flexible and energy-efficient ventilation solution.

Electronically commutated (EC) motors allow fan speeds to be adjusted to match the airflow requirements of an installation. This control capability helps optimise electricity consumption and avoid unnecessary operation at maximum speed.

The modular configuration allows the system to be adapted to different airflow and pressure requirements, simplifies maintenance operations and offers greater flexibility when designing air handling units and other ventilation systems.

Energy efficiency as a design principle

Reducing energy consumption requires a comprehensive approach to building services. Selecting efficient equipment, ensuring correct sizing and adjusting operation to actual demand are essential factors in improving the performance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

At Airtècnics, we develop solutions that combine innovation, efficiency and reliability, helping professionals and installers meet the specific requirements of each project.

On World Energy Saving Day, we highlight the importance of making better use of energy resources through technologies that help reduce losses and optimise the performance of building systems.
