Indoor air quality and energy efficiency with AHUs
Duration 31 min.
HVAC systems are often installed with the aim of maintaining comfort levels in a building. However, less is usually known about the health benefits for building occupants and the energy efficiency of the building. By using central air handling units (AHUs) we address both the sustainability and indoor air quality aspects.
In this educational video, three of these factors are examined and discussed in more detail in relation to AHUs and energy efficiency.
- Correct temperature and humidity control
- Effective filtration
- Proper amount of outdoor air

Consumption-based billing of energy costs for mechanical ventilation (in German)
Duration: 23 mins
In commercial buildings with mechanical ventilation, it has been common practice for many years to allocate ventilation costs to the various occupants according to a pre-defined key. The distribution key used is usually the area allocated to each occupant relative to the total ventilated area of the building. However, this approach does not take into account and support newer trends and requirements to further reduce energy consumption in buildings.
What are the options available today for consumption-based billing of energy costs for mechanical ventilation? What is required by the Buildings Energy Act? What are the technical requirements? And when does consumption-based billing make economic sense?
These questions are the focus of this educational video.
In particular, the seminar will address the following issues:
- Solutions for consumption-based billing of energy costs for mechanical ventilation
- Buildings Energy Act and VDI 2077
- Cost-effectiveness requirement for billing
- Discussion of a cost allocation based on the actual volumetric flows in the distribution system
The educational video has been designed to be product independent and generally valid, even if other manufacturers' products are used.
Speaker: Frank Eßer is a consulting engineer at Belimo Germany. He has been active in the sector for many years, for the last three at Belimo, and is an expert in control technology, heat/cooling meters, metering and hydronic circuits.
