CUSTOMER CASE STUDY

Site heating for a 20,000 m² school building 

When one of the region’s major school construction projects got underway, the contractor faced a key challenge: ensuring rapid, controlled and environmentally friendly drying in a large building covering 20,000 m², constructed with a timber frame. The project required a solution capable of delivering a stable indoor environment, dry air and reliable air circulation – all fully automated.

The challenge

Given the high levels of moisture in the structure and the stringent durability requirements, the project needed:

Effective drying of timber frames and building materials

Automated operation with as little manual intervention as possible

Energy-efficient solutions in line with the project’s environmental profile

A controlled and consistent climate across large areas

Any delays in the drying-out process could have had a negative impact on the entire timetable.

The solution

We supplied a complete climate control system tailored to large volumes and the specific requirements of the timber structure.

The solution comprised:

Automated control that continuously adjusts power, air circulation and dehumidification

Energy-efficient air-conditioning units that minimise operating costs and environmental impact

Optimised air circulation to ensure even and rapid drying throughout the building

Monitoring to ensure stable, uninterrupted operation

The system was configured to operate with very little manual intervention – exactly as requested by the site management.

The result

The project was carried out entirely according to plan, and the drying times were adhered to without any problems whatsoever.

The staff on site gave very positive feedback and highlighted the following in particular:

Dry, clean air throughout the construction period

Very good air circulation, which created a pleasant working environment

Stable, uninterrupted automatic operation

A sustainable and energy-efficient solution that met the project’s environmental objectives

The controlled indoor environment helped both to ensure the quality of the building and to create a safer and more efficient workplace.
