Air Conditioning
Commercial air conditioning means more than cooling and heating. It is about air quality, energy efficiency, maintenance effort and the question: refrigerant or water in the building? We plan vendor-independently – and tell you honestly which system makes sense for your building.

What we deliver
VRF or fan coil?
Refrigerant or water in the building – we explain the difference and recommend what fits.
Presence-controlled
Air conditioning runs only when someone is there. Considerable savings in comparable reference plants*.
CO₂-controlled ventilation
Fresh air when needed – not by a rigid schedule. Heat recovery with high efficiency*.
Automatic dew-point protection
No condensate, no mould – automatically, regardless of your settings.
Typical scope
- System choice VRF / fan coil / hybrid to DIN EN 378 and usage profile
- Presence control with mmWave sensors and a GDPR-compliant works agreement
- CO₂-controlled ventilation with heat recovery to DIN EN 16798
- BMS integration on open protocols – across manufacturers
- Economic analysis to VDI 2067 – vendor-neutral
Frequently asked questions
Practical questions from our consulting – answered honestly
What is the difference between a VRF air-conditioning system and a fan coil?
A VRF system routes the refrigerant directly to the indoor units in the rooms. A fan-coil system routes only water through the rooms – the refrigerant stays in a central unit. Fan coils need less maintenance and are not subject to charge limits under DIN EN 378 indoors. VRF systems can be installed faster without a hydraulic network. Which fits depends on building size, pipe routes and safety requirements – we advise per project.
How much can presence-controlled air conditioning really save?
In comparable reference plants* we achieve considerable electricity savings on air-conditioning consumption – especially in buildings with many conference rooms that are used only for hours at a time. In production halls with continuous operation the potential is lower. A reliable forecast is only possible after analysing the specific building and usage profile.
Can condensation really be ruled out with water-based systems?
With correct planning and functioning sensors, yes. The system monitors temperature and humidity in real time, calculates the dew point and always keeps the chilled-water temperature above this limit. If a sensor fails, the system automatically switches to a safe fallback supply temperature. Prerequisite: correctly dimensioned sensors per room zone, no 'one sensor for everything' solution.
Can I integrate different VRF manufacturers in one BMS?
Yes. We integrate vendor-independently via BACnet or Modbus gateways. That means uniform control, uniform monitoring, uniform alarming – regardless of the equipment manufacturer. You also remain free for future equipment changes.
* Ranges for COP values, efficiencies and savings are empirical values from comparable reference plants and not a guarantee for a specific property. We only make binding statements after an on-site analysis, load-profile recording and a property-specific calculation to VDI 2067. Manufacturer and component names are deliberately not mentioned – selection is made per project and vendor-neutrally.
