Easy upgrade of ventilation systems

Constant air volume (CAV) ventilation systems can be a real energy wasters in older buildings. But with the right upgrade they don’t have to be. However, according to many property owners there are three main obstacles when it comes to upgrading the ventilation system: ROI, downtime and additional installations like cabling.

What if we told you that we created a demand controlled ventilation (DCV) system that requires no reconstruction of walls, doesn’t need no long-term shut down of offices and on top of that lets you keep approximately 98 percent of the old ventilation system?

Lindabs room control solution Ultra BT does just that. Upgrade your old ventilation system to an app controlled wireless demand controlled solution that can be installed in one room at a time with minimal downtime.

And the numbers? In our case study, data showed an impressive 68% energy saving with an ROI of only 4,5 years. Perhaps the easiest way to save energy in an existing building!

Three components – full control

The UltraLink Demand Controlled Ventilation regulator, Bluetooth sensors and Lindab apps on your smartphone gives you the ability to set up, monitor and reset up to five different sensors in each of your rooms. That way, you can control everything from CO2 levels, airflow, humidity, presence and temperature with a few clicks in the apps.

No wires – no worries

Because the UltraLink is installed in existing ducts and everything is connected via Bluetooth, you can set up the entire Ultra BT system in less than an hour per room. Once you have placed the sensors on the wall, you download the OneLink app to your phone, set all preferred levels in the room, and that is it.

Easy upgrade

As the Ultra BT is so easy to install and works at room level, you can upgrade your CAV ventilation system to a DCV system room by room. Start by optimizing the most costly areas, measure your savings, improvement in work performance, and overall comfort, and move forward from there into better air.

Intelligent temperature control

With Ultra BT you can simplify the management of heating and cooling products in the room to ensure harmony of indoor comfort and energy savings.

Seamless integration

  • Avoid conflicts of heating and cooling devices to minimise energy use
  • Control heating and cooling devices on room level
  • Supply air

Towards a greener future

By controlling the air at room level with a wireless installation and app managed system, you are taking an important step into a fresher, greener, and more provident future. Our case study showed a decrease in energy consumption by a staggering 68%.

Ultra BT in action - a case study

The building owner of a combined storage hall and office building in our case study from Bargteheide, Germany had clear goals when starting optimization of the ventilation system. First and foremost, they needed cooling and reduction of energy consumption, but they wanted to reuse as much of the old duct system as possible and ensure a short payback time. After one year, the results were clear… Aside from the fact that a survey showed substantial improvement in indoor climate satisfaction, the annual energy costs of the system results in a reduction of 73% compared to the old system and leaves a calculated ROI of merely 4,5 years. Now those are cool(ing) numbers.
