The challenge

The Irish Life office in Dundalk, Ireland, wanted to improve the quality of their indoor air. But they faced multiple challenges:

  • AHUs could only be installed at a low height to comply with civil planning requirements.

  • Local planning requirements meant that low sound breakout noise was a necessity.

  • The AHUs could not cause any impact on the surrounding high-end residential area.

In addition, the customer was concerned about achieving a high energy rating and securing low SFPs, as well as having strong technical support to ensure smooth project handover within the set timeline.

As DMG Engineering has used Systemair products and solutions in many of their high-profile projects throughout Ireland, they again turned to Systemair Ireland to find a solution.

HH Flex AHU

Customizable AHU

For the Irish Life project, the Systemair HHflex AHU was chosen as the chassis size is fully customizable. The flexibility of design meant that the strict planning requirements could be met easily and comfortably.

Additional products Systemair supplied for the Irish Life project included:

  • K Fans

  • VBR, water heating batteries

  • Prio, axial circular duct fans

The end result was a high-performing, low-noise ventilation system that delivers Irish Life exceptionally high-quality indoor air with minimal energy consumption.
