Whatever business you’re in, keeping the air in your premises fresh and clean has multiple benefits, like promoting the health and safety of employees and protecting products and processes.
But many airflow control systems are inefficient, providing a constant supply of air that wastes energy and drives costs up. And, with continuing uncertainty around global energy supply, facilities managers are under pressure to reduce energy consumption and boost efficiency.
What if airflow control could be safe, effective and deliver energy savings? At TEL we’ve spent more than 50 years perfecting pioneering airflow solutions that do just that.
How TEL’s airflow control solutions reduce energy costs
Our approach significantly reduces the cost and environmental impact of providing fresh, clean air by delivering it precisely according to the unique requirements of each working space. In laboratory environments where we initially specialised, our variable air volume (VAV) airflow control systems help reduce energy use by up to 85% – without compromising on safety.
In recent years we’ve taken our expertise to other sectors including manufacturing, hospital and healthcare, retail and office buildings. We’ve also learned that optimising energy savings isn’t just about technology, it’s also about understanding and adapting to the built environment it’s being used in.
Here are some of the issues that affect our customers:
- Challenges of space
Large retail spaces can be difficult to ventilate using traditional HVAC systems that require significant energy to operate, and are difficult to adapt to changes in use. The AFA5000/RSC-2 Room Space Controlleris an intelligent touch-screen room space controller that controls and monitors mechanical HVAC ventilation and air quality in retail spaces (without the need for a building management system) and can be easily reconfigured to a change in use.
- Multiple activities
Many sites incorporate a broad range of activities, each with their own airflow control requirements. In a hospital, for instance, an operating theatre needs high levels of ventilation when it’s being used and next to none when it’s not, while a general ward sees a continuous flow of people and pollutants (including gases, chemicals and pathogens), so needs an almost constant supply of fresh clean air.
TEL’s range of constant air volume (CAV) and variable air volume (VAV) Terminals and Attenuators helps building managers effectively control the distribution of air into each specific space.
- Kitchen ventilation
Notoriously energy-intensive, commercial and industrial kitchens are usually ventilated using a hood system that filters and replaces contaminated air with clean air. These systems are set to full power and operate constantly, even though they might only need to be used at this level for a small part of the day.
Our kitchen hood controls reduce energy usage by up to 75%, shrinking energy costs and carbon emissions.
Agile and innovative, at TEL we pride ourselves on creating energy-saving solutions that save money now and can be adapted for the future too. We also offer a retrofit solution for most existing systems and bespoke design and technical consultation services for specific, non-standard requirements.
