Continuous fresh air

Sense air handling units (AHUs) quickly distribute fresh air through indoor spaces with energy-efficient EC motors, adjustable air blow direction, and excellent filtration. Designed for under-ceiling air blow using the Coanda effect, the solution ensures an effective fresh air supply throughout the entire space.

Silent and discreet

Sense AHUs are an excellent fit for applications where quiet operations are needed and space is limited, but fresh air is important, such as in schools and offices.

Addresses excessive CO₂ Concentration

The solution mitigates CO₂, potentially negatively affecting students' well-being, including decreased focus and overall discomfort.

Backed by data

A comparative analysis was done confirming the improvement in IAQ following installation, offering, showcasing a refreshing and healthy atmosphere, optimizing their learning potential.

The ideal solution for students

The decision was made to install Sense AHUs, the ideal solution for creating a healthy, comfortable learning environment in classrooms while maintaining fresh air circulation in busy indoor spaces and conserving valuable floor space.

Sense AHUs also offered silent operation, easy maintenance, and straightforward installation in new and existing buildings.

Equipped with EC motor rotors, an aluminium counterflow heat exchanger (SNX) or aluminium enthalpy counterflow heat exchanger (SNH), and an integrated control system, these units deliver efficient performance with minimal disruption.

A comparative data analysis

Data collected from a similar institution, the Secondary Medical School in Murska Sobota, Slovenia, demonstrate that Systemair Sense units effectively monitor and control CO2 concentration in classrooms.

After installing the Sense air handling units, Systemair conducted a comprehensive analysis of CO₂ concentration data in a school classroom, yielding impressive results that showcase its effectiveness in achieving and sustaining healthy air quality.

By summarising CO₂ concentration measurements in the school classroom, we obtained valuable insights into Systemair Sense's impact. The following data provides a compelling picture of the disparities in CO₂ levels under different conditions.

Figure 1 depicts the CO₂ concentration in the classroom when the Systemair Sense unit is not in operation. The data unequivocally highlights that the CO₂ levels exceed the maximum recommended limit of 1500 ppm. This observation underscores the potential adverse effects on students' well-being, including decreased focus and overall discomfort.

Achieving optimal air quality with Systemair Sense

In contrast, the implementation of the Systemair Sense unit yields transformative results. Figure 2 (see graph below) showcases the CO₂concentration in the classroom when the Systemair Sense device is active. The unit's built-in CO₂ sensor intelligently adjusts the fan speed, facilitating proper air exchange within the classroom and effectively maintaining CO₂ levels within the normal range.

The data analysis unequivocally demonstrates the significant impact of Systemair Sense in enhancing classroom air quality, for every type of school reqiorement. By actively regulating CO₂ concentration levels, the device ensures students benefit from a refreshing and healthy atmosphere, optimizing their learning potential. With Systemair Sense, classrooms become spaces where students can thrive, fostering their overall well-being and academic success.
