FläktEdge: Smart HVAC management for better energy efficiency and comfort. Reduce energy waste and optimize indoor air quality with real-time airflow control.

Energy wasted, discomfort in the air and poor HVAC management 

Indoor climate is often overlooked. It is invisible you cannot see the problems of indoor air, but we all notice the energy bills that ensue afterwards. There is so much energy wasted in maintaining indoor air climate, so much energy being used unnecessarily contributing to those increased costs. It does not need to be like this. A sustainable solution is the answer. FläktEdge is the answer.

What is FläktEdge?

FläktEdge is a building management system (BMS) for your heating and ventilation systems. It provides energy-efficient performance across all your systems by managing your energy usage to the correct standards. Developed by FläktGroup, your leading global provider of indoor air technology, FläktEdge is our ‘magnum opus’ of management systems. It integrates with HVAC systems to ensure that air is delivered where and when it is needed most, in the best energy-efficient manner possible. The system uses advanced sensors, dynamic airflow control, and smart algorithms to adapt to the changing conditions of a building. This then provides a comfortable and healthy environment for everyone.

The goal of FläktEdge is to address inefficiencies in traditional HVAC systems. Conventional building management systems often operate with fixed airflow rates or rely on simple feedback mechanisms that do not account for the changing conditions such as:

·         Occupancy

·         Temperature

·         Humidity

FläktEdge however, uses real-time data to adjust airflow dynamically, ensuring that air is distributed based on the current needs of each area within a building. It is an incredibly adaptable system making it extremely flexible to meet your building's needs. There is nothing on the market quite like FläktEdge, it is a dependable system that is constant throughout the life of a building. With future updates in development, FläktEdge undergoes continuous reviews to add new functions and upgrades, enhancing the system even further

FläktEdge is not a system or a product. It is a solution.

Breaking down the power of FläktEdge

FläktEdge stands out in the HVAC market due to its array of intelligent and smart features. Features that enhance both the performance and efficiency of the operating HVAC system in a building environment. Some of the key features are:

Dynamic Airflow Control

One of the core features of FläktEdge is its ability to control airflow dynamically based on real-time conditions. FläktEdge continuously monitors variables such as temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and occupancy by using sensors placed throughout the building. 

Compared to other systems, this is a significant and beneficial upgrade. Traditional HVAC systems typically deliver a constant airflow, regardless of environmental changes. FläktEdge, however, adapts to provide dynamic airflow control. 

Smart Zoning

Zoning refers to the different areas within a building, each of which can have a customized airflow setting with FläktEdge. For example, a room with more occupants may require increased ventilation compared to an empty hallway. 

FläktEdge identifies these changes in real time and adjusts the airflow accordingly, ensuring appropriate levels of ventilation. That is a next level of smart for any BMS. Not only does this improve occupant comfort but also reduces energy waste by avoiding over-ventilation in areas that are not being used or are unoccupied and with this process, you save energy and money.

Energy Efficiency

With any modern HVAC system of today, energy efficiency is a top priority and FläktEdge is the answer to make sure your system runs at the appropriate energy usage levels. By adjusting airflow based on demand, the system reduces the workload of your HVAC operations, leading to lower energy consumption. It ensures that air is only delivered where it is needed and by doing that, our smart BMS prevents the frequent problem of over-conditioning areas, which can lead to wasted energy as well. If there is less strain on the ventilation system, the system's life is extended.

Energy efficiency is a feature that aligns with everything we do at FläktGroup. There is a growing need for sustainable building operations as buildings account for 30% of global energy consumption. We want to reduce both energy costs and carbon emissions and FläktEdge is a great start towards that sustainable future.

Advanced Integration and Control

FläktEdge is designed to integrate seamlessly with the operating HVAC system allowing for centralised control and monitoring. Through a user-friendly interface, you can monitor the performance of the entire HVAC system, analyse, and adjust key pieces of data to optimise building operations. 

Another great benefit of this system is that it supports remote access, which enables real-time control and virtual control (Edge2Cloud). This level of control and integration provides a more comprehensive approach to building management, contributing to better energy performance and more comfortable indoor environments.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is a key factor to consider in any building. We spend 90% of our time inside, be it at home, in the workplace or travelling in a car, bus or train. So, it is important to maintain a healthy indoor environment. FläktEdge helps improve indoor air quality by ensuring that fresh air is properly circulated throughout the building.

Our BMS monitors CO2 levels, dust particles, and other pollutants to adjust airflow accordingly to maintain a clean and healthy atmosphere. This proves valuable in environments where there are lots of people and poor ventilation, which leads to increased levels of poor air quality.

Noise Reduction

HVAC systems can often run into the issue of producing a significant amount of noise due to the constant operation of fans and air handling units. This may sound like a trivial issue, but sound is especially important in some buildings to boost the concentration levels of workers.

FläktEdge mitigates the issue of sound by modulating fan speeds and reducing any unnecessary airflow. By only delivering the necessary amount of air, the system operates more quietly, leading to a more pleasant indoor atmosphere. Naturally, this is unbelievably valuable in settings like offices, schools, and healthcare facilities where noise levels can impact productivity and comfort.
