Low Carbon Footprint With Sustainable Ventilation Solution

Construction News Image
FabricAir Dispersion Systems have a lower carbon footprint than conventional metal ducting. They enable operational energy savings of up to 40%.

Ventilation systems in fabric require less energy to produce and transport. At the same time, the efficiency of the air distribution is much higher and more precise with textile-based ventilation than with conventional metal ducting. This means that ventilation solutions from FabricAir operate with a lower pressure loss and therefore require less energy to operate. The lower pressure loss can save up to 40% on the power bill.

Environmentally friendly production

FabricAir's textiles meet the OEKO-TEX 100 requirements, which confirm that we commit to environmentally friendly production methods and materials. The expected lifetime of a fabric duct is long; several of the original installations from the 70s are still being used in slaughterhouses around Denmark.

Due to the compact nature of the ducts, they take up significantly less space than metal ducts during transport. In fact, calculations show that FabricAir Dispersion systems emit 21.3% less CO2 from transport than corresponding ducts in metal.

Creating the ideal indoor air quality

Using FabricAir dispersion technology offers a number of additional advantages including even, draft-free air dispersion and no condensation issues, which creates the ideal indoor environment. The fabrics do not corrode, which makes this technology especially advantageous in swimming pools and other highly corrosive environments. Using flow models and permeable fabrics prevents dust and other particles from settling inside and onto the duct, rendering the ducts technically maintenance-free; should there be a need for cleaning, the easy suspension methods ensure quick dismantling and re-installation, and the ducts can simply be washed in a washing machine.

The added bonus of a sustainable ventilation system with a low carbon footprint is the significant savings of up to 70% on total installed costs.
