SYNOPSIS   

This seminar introduces Next-Generation Air Handling Units (AHUs) engineered to achieve maximum energy efficiency and a lower carbon footprint for modern buildings and industrial facilities. It showcases four innovative technologies that are transforming HVAC system performance: Micro-ESP (MESP) filtration for ultra-low pressure drop and energy savings, Horse-Shoe Heat Pipe technology for passive free pre-cooling and reheat with effective humidity control, high-efficiency EC Fans for enhanced motor performance and reduced power consumption, and the integration of VRF technology into Make-Up Air Units (MAUs), enabling the transition from conventional low-temperature chilled water plants to high-temperature chilled water systems for greater energy efficiency.

Participants will gain practical insights into how these next-generation solutions improve indoor air quality, reduce operating costs, enhance HVAC performance, and support sustainable, low-carbon building operations.


EVENT OBJECTIVES

•    Understand the latest technologies driving the development of next-generation energy-efficient Air Handling Units (AHUs).
