Savings to be found in HVAC


C


ommercial businesses are looking for any efficiency measures that will offset current soaring bills, and


that’s no surprise. Reports about rising energy costs, as


well as crippling supply chain issues and their impact on businesses, have been covered extensively in HVR recently. But, as ever, innovative HVAC specialists offer a number of solutions that might help particularly when it comes to heating. The important thing is that, right now, no business wants a significant capital outlay but there are some things that can be done that won’t break the bank. For instance, on page 10 of this issue, a study reveals that a simple switch to smart control on a central heating system can reduce the gas used by up to 12 per cent over the heating season. For those who are prepared to make a big change, read our case study on pg 12 on a heating and cooling solution that offers an interesting alternative to traditional gas boilers. But if these are not right for your client,


then it’s worth brushing up on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (pg16) or finding out how an MVHR solution (Pg27) might help. This month HVR also features Chimneys & Flues, Listed Buildings and Oil & Gas.

Cutting edge heat & vent S


chwank, the industrial climate specialist, is offering a solution for climate-neutral heating by expanding its product portfolio to


include solar air collectors in addition to hydrogen operated tube heaters. The new product group is launched under the name solarSchwank. The products for renewable heat generation are conceived as facade systems. The actual solar air collector consists of perforated, durable, aluminium, with a solar active surface (absorber). This selective coating ensures a highly efficient conversion of solar energy into thermal energy. When the sun’s rays meet the solar active surface, they are converted into thermal energy and released into the air layer below the absorber. The heated air cushion is then fed directly into the building assisted by a fan. This is carried out without any conversion processes or use of a heat


exchanger. Thanks to this method, heating costs are said to be reduced, for instance, by 50% and CO2 emissions can likewise be lowered. The solarSchwank System is available with or without fresh air supply. The air collectors are easy to install and can be implemented very quickly in both new and existing buildings. Thanks to the use of lightweight materials, they can be mounted on almost any building facades.
