The Role of Custom AHU Design in Achieving Net-Zero Carbon Goals

Unlike off-the-shelf systems, which are built for general applications, custom AHU design allows engineers and HVAC consultants to specify every component—from fan configuration to control logic—based on project-specific criteria. This approach is particularly valuable in buildings targeting net-zero emissions.

How Can Air Filtration Help Reduce Airborne Microbial Contamination

Unlike dust or chemical pollutants, airborne microbes are living organisms that can multiply under the right conditions. This includes bacteria, viruses, mould spores, and fungal fragments—all of which can trigger respiratory illness, allergic reactions, or infection outbreaks. Poorly managed HVAC systems don’t just fail to remove these organisms—they can circulate them throughout the building.

Indoor Air Quality Standards – Are You Compliant?

Indoor air quality standards define the acceptable levels of pollutants, temperature, humidity, and ventilation required to ensure a safe and healthy indoor environment. These standards are not arbitrary. They’re based on scientific evidence, worker safety principles, and public health research—and they carry both legal and operational weight.

Smart AHU Controls and AHU Automation

Air handling units today aren’t just mechanical boxes pushing air—they’re becoming intelligent systems that adapt in real time to occupancy, temperature, humidity, and energy demand.

Chilled Water System Maintenance

A chilled water system is a type of centralized cooling system used in large commercial or industrial buildings. It delivers cooled water through a closed-loop piping network to air handling units (AHUs) or fan coil units, which then remove heat from the air via heat exchange.

Custom vs. Standard AHU Units - Which Suits Your Building Best?

Air handling units aren’t one-size-fits-all. The design of your building, its usage, and its technical constraints should directly inform whether you opt for a standard unit or a custom-built system.
