Eurovent publishes guidebook on air-handling units

Brussels, Belgium, 4 October 2018: The Eurovent Association’s Product Group AHU has published the first release of its guidebook on air-handling units. The free-of-charge publication provides all essential information on this piece of technology, in a hands-on and neutral manner, the communiqué said.

The Eurovent AHU Guidebook provides valuable information on application areas, functions and components, energy efficiency and life-cycle costs, control system, design and selection, certification, as well as standards, the communiqué said. It is not only targeted at producers, but is of equal relevance for consultants, planners, architects, testing agencies and everyone having to deal with air-handling units in their everyday life, the communiqué further said.

Martin Lenz, Chairman, Eurovent Product Group AHU, said: “My colleagues and I can confidently state that this is the most comprehensive and all-encompassing guidebook on air-handling units published to date. Our goal was to create a non-academic, concise and easy-to-read publication that enables readers to better understand the heart of a ventilation system.”

Morten Schmelzer, Executive Director, Eurovent Association and Secretary of the Product Group, added: “It was of specific importance for us to highlight the state-of-the-art in technological development, while raising awareness on core aspects, such as life-cycle costs, design and selection. We want readers to be able to make an unbiased assessment of what defines a high-quality air handling unit and why, for instance, the initial price should not be the main purchasing argument.”

According to Eurovent, the AHU Guidebook can be downloaded from their Document Web Shop at www.eurovent.eu.
