architecture+indoor climate

The art of handling air

 architecture+indoor climate
The Architects’ wealth of ideas and design options
are at the same time the inspiration and stimulus for our
architecture+indoor climate team.
For more than 50 years, architecture+indoor climate has been
offering architects around the globe the greatest freedom of
choice in the development of air conditioning solutions.
architecture+indoor climate is based on the uncompromising
implementation of artistic architectural design options, whether
it relates to a specific air conditioning concept, central air
conditioning systems, air and water systems or decentralised
systems.

 Air conditioning know-how
The creative impulse of the architect combined with our
professional air conditioning know-how – which is essential in
complex buildings – fulfils the most rigorous requirements in
terms of comfort, aesthetics, environmental friendliness and
economic efficiency, for example as in:

Office buildings
Sport arenas

Hotels
Conference centres

Shopping centres
Exhibition and convention halls

Airports
Hospitals

 The collaborative process
architecture+indoor climate supports the architect in the
development of optimum room air distribution concepts for new
buildings as well as for the refurbishment of existing buildings.
In almost all phases of the design development and the building
process, architects can use the comprehensive consultation and
service benefits provided by architecture+indoor climate.

The benefits spectrum of architecture+indoor climate covers,

amongst other issues:

Concept development and optimisation

Variant analysis

Energy usage evaluation

Economic efficiency analysis

Design development

Building of prototypes

Performance tests (cooling, heating, acoustics, air distribution)

Order execution

 Air and air conditioning design
architecture+indoor climate develops products which fulfil
both the aesthetic design concepts of the architect and the
functional and engineering requirements. Air diffuser design
can be integrated as gracefully-designed elements of the
room’s architecture, or – if necessary – can also be completely
invisible to the viewer. Diffusers are available in various
configurations and performances:

Jet nozzles
Floor diffusers

Displacement flow diffusers
Linear ball diffusers

Swirl diffusers
Slot diffusers

 Air conditioning technology:
a conflicting issue
Air conditioning technology is very frequently a conflicting
issue in relation to the design and its realisation.
It is essential at an early stage in a building project to integrate
the design of indoor climate control and ventilation concepts
considering for example:

most demanding architectural requirements

energy-saving

cost-effectiveness and at the same time

greater efficiency of

indoor air quality and air temperature control.

Pudong International Airport, Shanghai (RC), Architect: Paul Andreu

 Air-water systems
®
Thanks to the ComBeam product range, architecture+indoor
climate has developed air-water systems which offer the
ultimate flexibility in the design and related technology for both
new and building refurbishment projects.

In addition to heating, cooling and ventilation functions,

®
ComBeam products can also provide the platform to integrate
other building services, for example:

Lighting
Smoke detectors

Loudspeakers
Sprinklers

This also allows the problem-free integration of multi services

into the building management system.

Riverside-House, London (GB), Architect: Renton Howard Wood Levin

Ceiling design with ComBeam
®
The factory prefabrication of ComBeams allows “off site”
integrated construction, thus:

shortening the construction period

reducing the ceiling void height

making installation easier (Plug and Play)

enabling quicker amortisation of the investment cost for
the owner

reducing the number of interfaces required

®
ComBeams “in operation”:

have minimal maintenance and operating costs

are energy-saving systems

allow flexible solutions for a wide range of buildings

 Decentralised ventilation
Individual adjustment and the supply of outdoor air through
windows which can be opened account for the strong user
acceptance of decentralised ventilation systems. Individual
control and comfort can be combined with low investments and
energy costs.

architecture+indoor climate has created the FSL concept.

The innovative technology of decentralised ventilation systems
is merged into the façade.

Flow Units 17
 FSL façade system ventilation
FSL units can be integrated into the façade of new or
refurbished buildings as regards to architectural requirements,
as, for example:

Sill units
Underfloor units

The FSL technology allows:

individual heating, cooling and air conditioning

air filtration

noise attenuation

heat recovery

night cooling with windows closed

construction cost reduction through reduced floor void height

flexible equipment and installation
