At Vlint, we help organisations achieve their sustainability goals by upgrading existing air handling units (AHUs). This is an efficient way to reduce energy consumption, extend the service life of installations and lower the carbon footprint of buildings and industrial processes.
Did you know that air handling systems can account for up to 50% of a building's total energy consumption? Many commercial buildings and industrial facilities still operate outdated air handling units. These systems:
Replacing an entire air handling unit may seem like the only solution, but it is an expensive and disruptive process. Purchasing a new unit requires a significant investment, and installation can take several weeks, often forcing parts of a building or production facility to shut down temporarily. In addition, manufacturing, transporting and installing a completely new system creates a considerable carbon footprint.
Vlint heeft een bewezen aanpak ontwikkeld voor het verduurzamen van luchtbehandelingskasten in zowel utiliteit als industrie. Daarbij kijken we niet alleen naar energiebesparing, maar ook naar veiligheid, betrouwbaarheid en wet- en regelgeving.
Onze specialisten zijn VCA-gecertificeerd en nemen het volledige traject uit handen: van analyse tot oplevering en rapportage. Daarbij minimaliseren we ook onze eigen CO₂-impact tijdens het proces.
We analyse your existing air handling unit, assess its energy consumption, identify improvement opportunities and calculate the potential savings. You'll receive a clear proposal including the expected payback period.
Outdated components such as motors and fan housings are removed. Where required, we also modify ductwork and optimise air distribution.
The unit is thoroughly cleaned, repaired and restored to optimal technical condition.
Traditional motors are replaced with energy-efficient EC fans, which use up to 30% less energy and integrate easily with Building Management Systems (BMS).
Low-pressure-drop air filters optimise airflow, reduce pressure loss and can deliver energy savings of up to 68.9%, while improving indoor air quality.
Upgrading your air handling unit is a smart, future-proof investment. Want to know what it could mean for your building or industrial process? Contact Vlint for a clear upgrade proposal.
The most important part of an energy-efficient air handling system is replacing outdated motors or fans with modern EC fans. These fans not only consume significantly less energy but also integrate seamlessly with Building Management Systems (BMS). Their intelligent controls allow airflow to be adjusted precisely to actual demand, ensuring energy is used only when needed. This has a major impact on the building's overall energy consumption.
Besides the fans, air filters have a significant impact on the energy consumption of an air handling unit. The lower the airflow resistance, the less energy is required to move air through the filter. Energy-efficient air filters are designed to provide:
Industrial companies can benefit from various subsidy schemes, including ISDE, SDE++ and DEI+. These incentives make investing in energy-efficient air handling systems, cleaner and safer production processes, and lower CO₂ emissions more financially attractive. Vlint supports customers with both the technical implementation and identifying suitable funding opportunities.
Lower energy consumption, reduced CO₂ emissions, improved indoor air quality and lower maintenance costs.
Yes. In most cases, upgrading is significantly more affordable and faster, while causing much less disruption to business operations.
Commercial buildings (offices, hospitals and schools) as well as industrial sectors including food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and cleanrooms.
