A retrofit makes most people think of replacing an obso\u00adlete or broken fan with a new one. As before, this is still the main way of bringing existing venti\u00adlation, air condi\u00adtioning and refrig\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion plants to a state-of-the-art level without having to invest in a completely new system. ebm-papst has been providing the right compo\u00adnents for this for many years now and is also on hand with exten\u00adsive exper\u00adtise to help its part\u00adners with plan\u00adning and imple\u00admenting the system.<\/p>\n
But by founding ebm-papst neo GmbH & Co KG, the fan experts have opened the door to a world of entirely new digital solu\u00adtions. A key part of this is the data-driven retrofit. In prin\u00adciple, almost any control system can be connected to the cloud later. The bene\u00adfits of this upgrade should not be under\u00ades\u00adti\u00admated: it means that the data obtained can be accessed, visu\u00adal\u00adized and brought together. This soon brings added value, as the oper\u00ada\u00adtion can be opti\u00admized and anom\u00adalies can be quickly detected and resolved. Using learning algo\u00adrithms provides a smooth process that is contin\u00adu\u00adally and auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcally opti\u00admized.<\/p>\n
The ebm-papst Building Connect plat\u00adform is an effec\u00adtive tool for this purpose. It collects data from existing systems \u2013 from fan to building control \u2013 and analyses them. Room plans are used to create a digital twin of the building on the plat\u00adform. The algo\u00adrithms working in the back\u00adground learn from user behavior, building char\u00adac\u00adter\u00adis\u00adtics and envi\u00adron\u00admental condi\u00adtions to constantly improve the entire building ecosystem.<\/p>\n
For example, if the ebm-papst Building Connect plat\u00adform is linked to a simple building control system, you are giving it an Internet-capable brain. It spec\u00adi\u00adfies opti\u00admized times for a time-controlled venti\u00adlation system, making a rigid system into an intel\u00adli\u00adgent real-time control system. Customers receive direct access to their data, so they can keep an eye on what is actu\u00adally happening \u2013 in real time! On request, the plat\u00adform user inter\u00adface can also be labeled for the customer. Third-party appli\u00adca\u00adtions can also be linked.<\/p>\n

Another major advan\u00adtage of this data-driven upgrade: the ebm-papst Building Connect plat\u00adform can be imple\u00admented quickly and easily. A good time to do so is when retro\u00adfitting fans, for example the latest gener\u00ada\u00adtion of RadiPac centrifugal fans. After all, they are easy to link and provide intel\u00adli\u00adgent control systems that supply numerous valu\u00adable data.<\/p>\n
Achieve even more data and added value by installing a true plug-and-play solu\u00adtion: the RESET-certi\u00adfied fan from ebm-papst. This combined product consists of an energy-saving fan with RESET-certi\u00adfied sensor and a gateway that enables direct connec\u00adtion to the cloud. The RESET-certi\u00adfied fan supplies tradi\u00adtional fan data such as speed, vibra\u00adtion, noise, air speed and power consump\u00adtion, but also para\u00adme\u00adters for air quality like temper\u00ada\u00adture, humidity, carbon dioxide, fine dust and gases emitted by mate\u00adrials inside. This makes it a corner\u00adstone for having a building certi\u00adfied to the world\u2019s first sensor-based building stan\u00addard RESET.<\/p>\n
More added value: docu\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion, produc\u00adtivity, health<\/h2>\n
Numerous studies have proven that good air quality increases employees\u2019 produc\u00adtivity at work. It is obvious that it is also good for health. And if the air quality is sustain\u00adable, like the RESET stan\u00addard requires, this provides the building oper\u00adator with many convincing argu\u00adments.<\/p>\n
But docu\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion of perfor\u00admance data in build\u00adings is playing an increas\u00adingly impor\u00adtant role even without air quality certi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion, in order to provide the required effi\u00adciency certifi\u00adcates, for example. Instead of having to gather labo\u00adrious data that is often esti\u00admated, the ebm-papst Building Connect plat\u00adform collates it at the click of a button.<\/p>\n

Depending on the appli\u00adca\u00adtion and situ\u00ada\u00adtion, it is possible to create very different, and some\u00adtimes unex\u00adpected, added value. One example is new busi\u00adness models: because of the link to its customers\u2019 data, a manu\u00adfac\u00adturer of air puri\u00adfiers can sell not just its devices but a \u201cclean air\u201d service. The experts at ebm-papst neo speak directly to the customer to develop the poten\u00adtial concrete bene\u00adfits of a data-driven retrofit. And, as before, this requires human problem solving skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
