Decentralised Ventilation Systems The individual and space-saving solution for a comfortable room environment FassadenSystemLüftung GmbH & Co KG A Trox Group Company
2 The Company at a glance
A world-wide sales network and the best research and development resources in this industry. On the road to success with ecological, economic ventilations systems Utilise our far reaching experience... FassadenSystemLüftung (FSL) has been developing decentralised ventilation systems since 1975. When quiet, individual room conditioning is required, and when the investment costs and space required by central air conditioning systems are too high, then our products and system solutions come into their own. Using the ventilation devices integrated into the outer skin of the building, fresh air is supplied to the rooms and return air is extracted. From simple flow devices to complex systems, numerous variations can be achieved....and in this way create a natural and healthy living environment for yourself Our many references and loyal, satisfied customers reflect the good collaboration between FSL and its partners and customers, for whom we often meet the most individual of wishes. Experience in almost all application areas makes it possible for you to draw on our ideas, developments, products, and concepts. This applies both for the new buildings, as well as during renovation work....link to new opportunities and innovations FSL has been part of the Trox Group since 2000. In conjunction with the market leading manufacturer of ventilation systems and components in Europe, FSL can draw on significantly higher production capacity, a world-wide sales network, as well as the most capable research and development division in the sector - a constellation from which you as a partner can only profit.

The comfortable ventilation solution for floor to ceiling glazing In buildings of major architectural significance... For buildings with outer walls glazed from floor to ceiling, the use of underfloor units for ventilation and extraction is the ideal solution. In combination with double façades, the thermal conditions in the intermediate space in the façade can be utilised for energy savings....with quiet, invisible ventilation... Underfloor units are installed in the false floor and air is introduced and/or extracted using floor diffusers. From acoustically attenuated flow openings to complex systems with electronic components and coils, the range of FSL underfloor units is large....and individual ways... In the case of the decentralised ventilation of the Post-Tower in Bonn, the building owner s wishes included the optimum combination of different requirements in the areas of energy saving, flexible use, and a pleasant working environment. The compact FSL underfloor units transport the fresh air from the intermediate space between the facades into the offices. Along with the housing containing acoustically and thermally insulating cladding, the units comprise a filter, fan, backdraught damper and coils for heating and cooling....of creating a comfortable environment The innovative environmental solution in the Post-Tower in Bonn is not a one-off. Whenever the best combination of a sense of well-being for people, economic aspects and high levels of user comfort are required, FSL is the partner who can offer a tailor-made solution.

The Neckermann Computing Centre in Frankfurt am Main, equipped with FSL coil heat exchanger systems. A guarantor for energy saving and well-being Using a small amount of energy High levels of heat recovery with, at the same time, very low heat losses are important requirements for ventilation and air conditioning systems. These requirements, as well as the realisation of ventilation in the window area and thus the provision of a high level of comfort, have been achieved with the coil systems from FSL....short air paths... The combined supply and extract air devices are installed in the sill area, or in the false floor. The outside air is drawn in through the façade. The air is cleaned through a filter and then driven by a supply air fan through a recuperative heat recovery device and coils, which heat or cool the air as required. A fan draws the return air out of the room and conveys it through the heat recovery device and the façade to the outside....and low costs... An example of the renovation of a building using these units is the Neckermann computer centre in Frankfurt am Main. In advance of the construction project, it was confirmed by means of the comparison of the investment and operating costs that the coil system from FSL is the most cost-effective variant compared to a central ventilation and air conditioning system. Schematic representation of a coil heat exchanger system in a sill wall design....guarantee high-quality room air The high level of satisfaction in this and many other projects is the best evidence of the well-being of the users when the system is used. Due to its ecological and economic characteristics, the coil system is often also the most suitable solution for investors and operators. 7
Ventilation units in Module Design Decentralised supply and return ventilation with sill units in a modular design. Combined supply and return boxes with integral heat recovery. 8
Inconspicuous ventilation systems in the window sill area provide a comfortable room environment. The variable and individual ventilation system When frequently changing usage As the usage of buildings can change frequently, and in the majority of cases a final usage plan does not exist at the time of building planning, attention must be paid during design to ensuring that the building services provide a high level of flexibility. The ventilation solution for this application is the use of FSL frame design devices....with the variable module solution... In the case of these systems, the housing with the supply and return air openings, which is termed a module, is integrated into the façade at an early stage of construction. Once the requirements for the rooms are defined, the module can be equipped with either a heating and acoustic attenuation pack without a ventilation function, or with a ventilation device as a plug-in box. Using this modular design, it is possible to install window and sill units as well as underfloor units with a wide range of functionality. In the Deutschen Ausgleichsbank AG in Bonn, modules were installed in the area of the windowsill, and equipped with supply and return air boxes as required. The project is only one example of the usage of these units in which the acoustic requirements, as well as the high requirements for variability and individuality of a ventilation and air conditioning system have been achieved....provide every user his or her comfort To guarantee every user individual comfort in the case of variable building use was the ambitious objective during the development of the decentralised ventilation units in module design.
